Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The nurse evaluates the effectiveness of the plan of care to promote rest and sleep by evaluating if the client has met the expected outcomes of the plan. If the client is able to identify factors that interfere with normal sleep patterns, this illustrates achievement of one expected outcome.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Although most sedative-hypnotics provide several nights of excellent sleep, the medication often loses its effect after one or two weeks. Caution the client not to increase the dose or take the drug with alcohol to try to increase effect.
