Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The nurse can help the client develop bedtime rituals and good sleep hygiene. Bedtime should be at a regular hour, and the bedroom should be conducive to sleep. Preferably, the bedroom should not be a place where the individual watches television or does work-related activities. The bedroom should be viewed as a room for sleeping and sex, and the environment should be cool, with minimal lighting.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Insomnia has a greater prevalence among older people and among divorced, separated, and widowed adults. Increasing age, female sex, and comorbid disorders (e.g., medical, mental disorders, and substance use) are all risks for developing insomnia disorder.
