Answer to Question 1

C
Based on the speed of onset and the speed of elimination, the nurse would identify zaleplon as being the most appropriate medication. Both zaleplon and zolpidem act on the GABA receptor. However, because zaleplon is eliminated from the body quicker, it is better at inducing sleep than maintaining uninterrupted sleep. Also, there are fewer symptoms upon awakening, lessening driving impairment 4 to 6 hours after the medication has been administered.
