MULTIPLE CHOICE
| a. | Retiree who volunteers twice a week at Habitat for Humanity |
| b. | Corporate accountant who travels frequently |
| c. | Parent with three teenagers |
| d. | Lawn care worker |
ANS: B
The corporate accountant is likely to work long hours and have significant stress associated with work demands. Compounded by travel, these factors are likely to precipitate unstable sleep patterns and inadequate sleep time. The retiree and lawn care worker engage in physical activity during the day, which will promote natural fatigue and sleep. The parent’s sleep is unlikely to be disturbed; teenagers sleep through the night.

| a. | “I turn on the television every night to get to sleep. I set the timer so it goes off in 30 minutes.” |
| b. | “I have diarrhea frequently and not much energy, so I stay at home most of the time.” |
| c. | “I only sleep about 7 hours a night, but I know I should sleep 8 or 9 hours.” |
| d. | “When my alarm clock goes off every morning, it seems like I am dreaming.” |
ANS: B
A discrepancy between hours of sleep obtained and hours required leads to sleep deprivation. Adults with less than 6 hours of sleep per night often suffer from chronic sleep deprivation. Common complaints include poor general health, physical and mental distress, limitations in ADLs, depressive or anxious symptoms, and pain. One distracter indicates a problem with sleep hygiene [television]. The remaining distracters do not indicate a problem.

| a. | “It’s important to limit your driving to short periods. Sleep deprivation increases your risks for serious accidents.” |
| b. | “Sleep deprivation is usually self-limiting. See your health care provider if it lasts more than a year.” |
| c. | “Turn the radio on with a soft volume as you prepare for bed each evening. It will help you relax.” |
| d. | “Three glasses of wine each evening help many patients who suffer from sleep deprivation.” |
ANS: A
Safety is the highest priority for this patient. Sleep deprivation causes psychomotor deficits. Driver drowsiness and fatigue lead to many automobile injuries and fatalities. Alcohol compounds problems associated with sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation should be evaluated and treated; a 1-year delay is too long.
