Answer to Question 1

D
Short, focused interview sessions are the best means of obtaining an accurate health history from a patient with narcolepsy. The patient could stay awake for short intervals and hopefully be fo-cused enough to get through them.
The patient's focus is likely to be poor for a prolonged period, therefore use of a structured writ-ten form is not the best method.
Patient information is privileged and cannot be obtained from another source, including family members, without the patient's written consent.
Past medical records may not be available for this patient, or they may be outdated or not perti-nent to this diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

a
