Answer to Question 1

C
In addition to the sleep history, ask a patient and bed partner to keep a sleep-wake diary for 1 to 2 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

A
Family is viewed as context, patient, and system. When family is viewed as context, the focus is on the health and development of an individual. When family is viewed as patient, the family processes and relationships are the primary focus. When family is viewed as a system, remember that the patient and family are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
