Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Generic and nonpharmacologic interventions include reducing noise, avoiding napping during the day, establishing a relaxing routine before bedtime, and avoiding exercise prior to bedtime.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The therapeutic milieu involves deliberate interaction between clients. This promotes communication and the application of behavior management techniques. The goal of this interaction is not to understand others' diagnoses, however, and conflict is not deliberately promoted. While health care costs are high and increasing, this is not the rationale for client interaction in the therapeutic milieu.
