Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Primary insomnia occurs when no cause of a sleep disturbance (eg, a mental health or medical diagnosis) can be identified. Primary insomnia often begins in young or middle-aged adults and tends to be more common in women. Clients with idiopathic insomnia have difficulty sleeping since childhood, and the cause is unknown. Psychophysiological insomnia is chronic insomnia in which clients worry about sleep, are cognitively and physiologically overaroused at bedtime, and have poor daytime functioning.Chapter: 22

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Sleep deprivation is the consequence of total or partial reduction in time spent asleep. Partial sleep deprivation is the most common form and one consequence of the very busy lives that many people live today. At least 20 of the population works shifts beyond the 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM typical working day. Accompanying sleep loss is associated with increased motor vehicle accidents and major industrial accidents.
