Answer to Question 1

A
Because the client complains of not sleeping well, waking up several times during the night, and not feeling rested in the morning, a nursing diagnosis of Sleep Pattern Disturbance would be used.

Answer to Question 2

B
The child is obviously showing improvement in social skills and is beginning to trust peers. This enjoyment is an indication of lessening anxiety.
