Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have more daytime sleepiness, movement during sleep, total sleep time, and sleep-disordered breathing problems than do children without ADHD. OCD, ODD, and bipolar disorder are not noted to correlate with sleep disorders in children.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Decreased sleep predicts manic episodes in clients with bipolar disorder. Restless legs, decreased sleep latency, and sleepiness are not associated with the onset of mania.
