Internal variables influence the way patients behave when they are ill. These are a patient's per-ceptions of symptoms and the nature of the illness. External variables influencing a patient's ill-ness behavior include the visibility of symptoms, social group, cultural background, economic variables, accessibility of the health care system, and social support.

Answer to Question 2

A nurse can assist the client in sleep disorder management by including family members or the sleep partner by explaining to promote rest and sleep.
