Answer to Question 1

ANS: 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. Nonpharmacologic interventions are helpful to induce sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
CAM is less invasive, more holistic, dedicated to health maintenance, and within control of the patient. CAM is focused on prevention, not treatment.
