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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
