Answer to Question 1

C
Cola and chocolate contain caffeine, which interferes with the ability to fall asleep. Personal preference influences the temperature of the room, as well as the lighting of the room. Noise can be a factor in the unit and can awaken the patient, but caffeine can make it difficult to fall asleep.

Answer to Question 2

A
According to King and Fawcett (1997), the goals of theoretical knowledge are to stimulate thinking and create a broad understanding of the science and practice of the nursing discipline.
Liaschenko (1997) and Liaschenko & Fisher (1999) have oriented theorizing toward three levels of abstraction: knowing the case, the client, and the person.
Many nurse philosophers and scientists are using new ways of tackling the main problem in nursing theoryapplying expanding, dynamic, and multiple sources of knowledge to a diverse range of client situations.
Praxis is a term used to determine the interrelationships between clinical practice and theoriz-ing.
