Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, D, E
Feedback:
Hypnotics do not induce a normal sleep pattern and are not indicated for long-term use. Hypnotics may impair waking functions, which can cause daytime sleepiness. Due to the potentially addictive qualities of hypnotics, tapering of doses may be required after long-term use.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Outcome criteria for the goal should be client focused, measurable and with a specific time frame.
