Answer to Question 1

4
Sleep disorders characterized by abnormal behavioral or physical events during sleep are called parasomnias.

Answer to Question 2

D, E
Hyperpyrexia and convulsions are common when a patient has overdosed on a CNS stimulant. These problems are life threatening and take priority. Nutrition is not a priority in an overdose situation. Vitamin replacements and naloxone apply to other drugs of abuse.
