Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Primary insomnia occurs when no cause of a sleep disturbance (eg, a mental health or medical diagnosis) can be identified. Primary insomnia often begins in young or middle-aged adults and tends to be more common in women. Clients with idiopathic insomnia have difficulty sleeping since childhood, and the cause is unknown. Psychophysiological insomnia is chronic insomnia in which clients worry about sleep, are cognitively and physiologically overaroused at bedtime, and have poor daytime functioning.Chapter: 22

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Sleep deprivation is the consequence of total or partial reduction in time spent asleep. Partial sleep deprivation is the most common form and one consequence of the very busy lives that many people live today. At least 20 of the population works shifts beyond the 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM typical working day. Accompanying sleep loss is associated with increased motor vehicle accidents and major industrial accidents.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
