Answer to Question 1

C
Variations in sleep patterns occur as a person ages. For example, a neonate sleeps for most of a 24-hour period, while an adolescent sleeps from 8 to 10 hours. An older adult may have a different sleep pattern, perhaps taking a daytime nap and awakening several times during the night.

Answer to Question 2

C
After implementing the change, the practice decision or change should be evaluated by using outcome or process measurements. Remember the O in your PICO(T) question. It represents the outcomes you choose to measure as you integrate the evidence. These outcomes tell you how well the evidence-based intervention works. Reviewing literature and asking a clinical question occurred before the change. Companies are not a part of this process.
