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:
The pattern of frequent arousals seen in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may result from the body's adaptation to maintain adequate oxygenation. Usually, these clients require low doses of oxygen at night.
