Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Primary insomnia is caused by emotional discomfort such as chronic stress. It is not caused by the direct physiologic effects of a substance or a general medical condition. Secondary insomnia is the inability to initiate or maintain sleep or nonrestorative sleep due to a psychiatric disorder such as depression, schizophrenia, or substance abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Compulsions are insistent, repetitive, intrusive, and unwanted urges to perform an act contrary to one's ordinary wishes or standards. An obsession is characterized by intrusive thinking; dyssomnias are disorders in which a client has difficulty with the amount, quality, or timing of sleep; paramnesia is the falsification of memory.
