Answer to Question 1

A
Idiopathic insomnia is diagnosed with the use of an EEG. If idiopathic insomnia is present, the EEG will be abnormal, indicating disturbances of the sleep centers of the brain.

Answer to Question 2

3. I am able to sit at work and do everything that I did before my back started to hurt.

Rationale:
The client has been performing exercises in order to strengthen back muscle for a period of 4 weeks. The client's ability to sit at work and function as completely as before having back pain is evidence that the back exercises have been successful to achieve the expected outcome. The other choices would indicate that the client has made adjustments in the lifestyle because of the back pain, which suggests that the exercises have not been effective.
