Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

The client with schizophrenia may have circadian cycle disruption, reduced REM sleep, and difficulty getting to sleep. This client may also have low nighttime levels of melatonin. This client will not experience REM rebound.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The client with sickle cell disease who is in a sickle cell crisis will likely have extreme pain. To aid in caring for this client, the nurse will administer ordered analgesic medications around the clock, place the patient in position of comfort, and support the client's joints and extremities with pillows. The use of heat or cold packs is contraindicated in the sickle cell client. Ischemic tissue is fragile and has reduced sensation, increasing the risk of burn injury from hot compresses, whereas cold compresses promote sickling.
