Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
NREM sleep, which progresses through four stages, is also called slow-wave sleep because during this phase, electroencephalogra phic (EEG) waves appear as progressively slower oscillations. The REM phase of sleep is referred to as paradoxical sleep because the EEG waves appear similar to those produced during periods of wakefulness, but it is the deepest stage of sleep. NREM sleep is characterized as quiet sleep and REM sleep as active sleep.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should remove the headboard before cardiorespiratory resuscitation, because this gives the code team responders better access for resuscitation and airway intubation. It is unnecessary to remove sheets under the client or footwear. The overbed table should be removed but the bedside stand is not likely in the way.
