Answer to Question 1

B
Older adults sleep lightly. Give NSAIDs before bedtime for comfort. Diuretics should be given in the mornings to reduce having to wake up to go to the bathroom during the night. Daytime sleeping may negatively affect nighttime sleep. Nonpharmacological interventions are helpful to induce sleep.

Answer to Question 2

D
The disengagement stage of parenthood is the period of family life when the grown children depart from the home.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs.
