Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Infants usually develop a nighttime pattern of sleep by 3 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Psychological symptoms of sleep deprivation include confusion and irritability. Elevated blood pressure is not a symptom of sleep deprivation. Rapid respirations are not a symptom of sleep deprivation. There may be a decreased ability of reasoning and judgment that could lead to inap-propriateness. Decreased temperature is not a symptom of sleep deprivation. The client with sleep deprivation is often withdrawn, not talkative.
