Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The best question to elicit the most pertinent information is Do you also have any recent lifestyle or behavior changes? The patient is getting 79 hours/sleep each night, which is expected for the average adult. The patient will not be able to recall an unconscious state such as REM sleep. The patient may have close relatives with sleep disorders but this does not necessarily affect the patient's own sleep habits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Prematurity, frost bite, environmental exposure, and brain injury are considered exemplars of hypothermia. Heat exhaustion is an exemplar of hyperthermia. Heat stroke is an exemplar of hyperthermia. Infection is an exemplar of hyperthermia.
