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.
