Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Sleep is a state of rest accompanied by altered consciousness and relative inactivity. Rest is a condition in which the body is in a decreased state of activity.

Drowsiness or agitation as a result of medications may affect sleep, but are less likely to result in mid-sleep awakenings. A client who performs physical activity prior to bedtime may have difficulty falling asleep.
