Answer to Question 1

B
Clients with diseases such as arthritis may have sleep disturbance related to nightly pain. Because
the pain is chronic the client may fail to realize it is the reason for the inability to sleep. The other
options do not follow the client's lead.

Answer to Question 2

A
The family in option A has the greatest number of stressors. The other families described have fewer
negative events occurring.
