Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Cataplexy is the sudden loss of motor tone that may cause the person to fall asleep; this is usually experienced during a period of strong emotion. Sleep attacks are irresistible urges to sleep, regardless of the type of activity in which the client is engaged. Hypnagogic hallucinations involve nightmares or vivid hallucinations. In sleep-onset REM periods, during a sleep attack, the person moves directly into REM sleep. Sleep paralysis is skeletal paralysis that occurs during the transition from wakefulness to sleep.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Narcolepsy is a condition characterized by an uncontrollable desire to sleep. Narcolepsy is considered a neurologic disorder.
