Answer to Question 1

D
Some individuals require less sleep than others. Those who need less are called short sleepers,
compared with long sleepers, who require more than 8 hours. Options A and B do not provide
information the client is seeking. Option C is not strictly true in all cases.

Answer to Question 2

C
Only option C is a true statement. It cues the nurse to assess carefully elderly client sensory function.
Correcting vision and hearing are critical to providing safe care. Options A, B, and D are myths
about aging.
