Answer to Question 1

A
Circadian rhythm sleep disorder is a sleep disruption that results from a mismatch between body rhythms and environmental demands. Primary hypersomnia occurs when a person sleeps during the night, but naps during the day. Narcolepsy results in repeated attacks of sleep, and obstructive sleep apnea is a breathing-related sleep disorder and not a change in sleep time.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The most appropriate nursing intervention is to provide personal space to respect the client's boundaries. Providing personal space may serve to reduce anxiety and thus reduce the client's risk for violence.
