Answer to Question 1

B
The term adolescence refers to the psychological maturation of the individual, whereas puberty refers to the point at which reproduction is possible. Menarche refers to the onset of menstruation. The transitional period between childhood and adolescence is preadolescence. Others refer to this period as late childhood, early adolescence, pubescence, and transescence.

Answer to Question 2

D
Primary sleep disorders are those in which the sleep alteration is the basic problem; secondary sleep disorders have a medical or clinical cause. The nurse can assist clients who are experiencing sleep disturbances by encouraging them to use bedtime rituals consistently. This provides a comforting ritual and prepares the body for rest.
