Answer to Question 1

C
The symptoms that Mrs. Malone reports and the increased nocturia make sleep deprivation a clear concern. This response also provides the opportunity to refer her to a physician to treat the nocturia and discuss possible ways to promote rest and sleep. Responses A, B, and D are true, but they are not sensitive to Mrs. Malone's concerns and the seriousness of her symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

D
All of the above are symptoms of terminal restlessness; muscle twitching, tossing and turning, and moaning are additional symptoms.
