Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
Dark shades or room darkening blinds will block the sunshine and allow for darkness when sleeping during the daytime hours. Wear sunglasses on the drive home from work to reduce the melatonin-reducing effect of sunshine. It is best to eat light, balanced meals during the night. Sedatives and alcohol should not be used as an aid to sleep. Allow time to unwind after work before going to bed, and try to follow the same routine daily.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient and caregiver should understand that pain can be controlled and that using large doses of opioids is common and necessary to achieve that control. It is good to educate the patient and caregiver that the dose that works is the dose that works.
