Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Butabarbital is an intermediate-acting barbiturate and is useful as a sleep sustainer to maintain long periods of sleep. They have an onset of 1 hour, so are not useful for those who have trouble falling asleep. Flurazepam and temazepam are benzodiazepines and are used to induce sleep. Secobarbital is used for preoperative sedation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To promote sleep, patients should be advised to arise at the same time each morning to establish a routine. Patients should avoid strenuous exercise before bedtime. Patients should not consume alcohol 6 hours before bedtime. Patients should not take daytime naps.
