Answer to Question 1

D
Relocation often causes sleep disturbances as the person adjusts to a new environment. Main-taining an established evening routine will help the patient sleep better. The other statements do not affect sleep.

Answer to Question 2

B
Prealbumin has a half-life of 2 to 3 days, so it is the most accurate measure of the patient's cur-rent status. Albumin's half-life is 21 days; transferrin's half-life is 8 to10 days. Total iron does not indicate current nutritional status as accurately as the others.
