Answer to Question 1

A, D
Feedback:
Providing daytime activities, especially late day exercise, and toileting before bed time can help with night-wandering. A night light should be kept on in bedroom and bathroom, but there is no need to have a light on at all times. Although the environment should be safeguarded, the wanderer should not be locked in the room. Daytime sleeping could promote nighttime awakeness.

Answer to Question 2

C
