Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Alcohol consumption is associated with both initial drowsiness and increased numbers of awakenings during the night, as well as overall decreases in both total sleep time and REM sleep. Individuals who are accustomed to the depressant effect of alcohol are prone to insomnia once they stop consuming it.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The symptoms of individuals with COPD are often exacerbated during sleep, because of both positioning and decreased oxygen saturation that occurs during sleep. Clients with osteoarthritis, cellulitis, or anemia would not be as likely to have increased symptoms at night.
