Answer to Question 1

D
Coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate cause a person to stay awake or awaken throughout the night. Promote comfort by encouraging the patient to wear loose-fitting nightwear, void before bedtime, give a relaxing back rub, and offer an extra blanket to prevent chilling when trying to fall asleep.

Answer to Question 2

D
Give priority to patients in middle and older adulthood when you address sexuality concerns caused by illness, medications, or physical changes. Research has shown middle and older age adults who are sexually active have greater independence, better overall health, and longer life expectancy. In addition, you should not assume all older patients are heterosexuals.
