Answer to Question 1

B
All magnet-designated hospitals maintain the National Database of Nursing Quality Improve-ment (NDNQI). The database includes information from Magnet hospitals on falls, pressure ulcer incidence, and nurse satisfaction. The Joint Commission produces patient safety goals. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention help produce guidelines for clinical practice. Ameri-can Association of Critical Care Nurses provides standards and practice guidelines for critical care nurses.

Answer to Question 2

D
The sleep cycle is the sequence of sleep beginning with the sequential stages of NREM sleep, a return to stage 3 and then stage 2, followed by the first REM stage. A sleep cycle is usually 70 to 90 minutes in duration, and the typical sleep passes through four to six cycles during a 7- to 8-hour sleep period.
