Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: The absorption of Ambien is slowed when taken with food. It is classified as a nonbenzodiazepine CNS depressant. It is classified as pregnancy category B, and should be avoided by breastfeeding mothers. Patients using MAOIs (not Ambien) should avoid foods high in tyramine.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: NREM sleep stage 2 accounts for 4555 of total sleep. The other stages are considerably less than half.
