Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Ingestion of L-tryptophan, a precursor of serotonin found in foods such as milk, beef, eggs, wheat flour, turkey, and corn, has been found to decrease sleep latency and increase stage 4 sleep. The other listed activities would not make the client more drowsy at bedtime.

Ans: C
Feedback:
