Answer to Question 1

These goals must be specific, measurable, realistic, and time oriented. The most appropriate goal stated is, The patient will increase sleep time from 5 hours per night to 7 hours per night in 3 days. The other answer choices do not meet all of the criteria of specific, measurable, and realistic.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Pertinent questions for the nurse to ask include whether the patient can participate in planning care, which symptom is most distressing, and what specific, measurable, and achievable goal does the patient have. Ascertaining a specific sleep-wake disorder diagnosis is not as importantif the patient perceives that it is an issue, it should be addressed. It should not be assumed that the patient is relating symptoms to procure medications.
