Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: A change in respirations is not associated with sleep.
Rationale 2: Skeletal muscles relax during sleep.
Rationale 3: Peripheral blood vessels dilate during sleep, which will reduce lower-extremity edema.
Rationale 4: One physiological change that occurs during sleep is a drop in arterial blood pressure.
Rationale 5: One physiological change that occurs during sleep is a decrease in heart rate.
