Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Information about when the patient went to bed, sleep rituals, aides, and barriers to sleep should be included, but unless foods have been identified as an aid or barrier to sleep, they need not be included.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
The primary aim when managing a circadian rhythm sleep disorder is positively affected by establishing regularity in the sleep-wake cycle by synchronizing sleep-wake patterns with typical daily schedules, identifying and managing external environmental factors that inter-fere with sleep, and encouraging the patient to sleep earlier than the previously established pattern. Sleep aids are not recommended.
