Answer to Question 1

C
The statement is an example of information derived from an epidemiological study. Through epidemiological studies, researchers may be better able to determine possible causes for disease and can often detect risk factors, such as age, race, or gender, that predispose persons to a disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
The client is most likely suffering from narcolepsy, a primary sleep disorder in which individuals frequently have three different and quite striking sleep-related symptoms. First, they have the frequent recurrence of an irresistible need for brief episodes of sleep. They awake from these feeling remarkably refreshed and rarely report daytime sleepiness except immediately prior to one of these episodes. Second, narcoleptic persons often have vivid dreamlike states as they are falling asleep or waking up. Third, they may have episodes of cataplexy.
