#1. A client’s sleep is disrupted by frequent care and late physical activity. Which pair addresses both problems?

Correct answer: D. Organize uninterrupted rest and avoid activity before bedtime

Explanation: Care should be organized to allow uninterrupted rest. Physical activity before bedtime should also be avoided.

Why A is wrong: These measures address hunger and warmth rather than the two stated barriers.
Why B is wrong: These support sleep but do not address both identified problems.
Why C is wrong: These measures serve other sleep-promoting purposes.

#2. Which pair correctly combines one physiological and one psychological symptom of sleep deprivation?

Correct answer: B. Slowed reflexes and decreased motivation

Explanation: Slowed reflexes are a physiological symptom of sleep deprivation, while decreased motivation is psychological. The other choices contain two symptoms from the same category.

Why A is wrong: Both are psychological symptoms.
Why C is wrong: Both are physiological symptoms.
Why D is wrong: Both are physiological symptoms.

#3. Which statement best describes the effects of sleep?

Correct answer: C. It conserves energy while supporting rest and tissue repair

Explanation: Sleep saves energy, lets the mind and body rest, slows body functions, lowers vital-sign levels, and supports tissue healing and repair. It also reduces stress, tension, and anxiety.

Why A is wrong: Body functions slow rather than increase.
Why B is wrong: Vital-sign levels fall during sleep rather than remaining unchanged.
Why D is wrong: Sleep lowers stress, but body functions also slow.

#4. When may night wandering help a client with dementia?

Correct answer: C. When it occurs in a safe, supervised setting

Explanation: Night wandering may help some clients with dementia when it occurs in a safe and supervised environment. Safety and supervision are part of the supported context.

Why A is wrong: Wandering does not replace planned care.
Why B is wrong: The described helpful context includes supervision.
Why D is wrong: Keeping a client awake until morning is not the described approach.

#5. Which nutrition statement best matches sleep promotion?

Correct answer: C. Protein-containing foods may promote sleep, while caffeine may interfere

Explanation: Caffeine-containing foods and drinks may affect sleep, while a protein found in milk, cheese, and beef can promote sleep. The two dietary influences work differently.

Why A is wrong: It reverses the described effects.
Why B is wrong: Protein-containing foods are identified as sleep-promoting.
Why D is wrong: Nutrition is one of the factors that affects sleep.

#6. A client needs several hours to complete morning personal care because of frequent rests. What approach fits best?

Correct answer: C. Allow enough time and rest periods without rushing

Explanation: Some clients need extended time to complete hygiene, bathing, grooming, and dressing. Needed rest periods should be allowed rather than rushing the client.

Why A is wrong: Shortening tasks does not replace required rest.
Why B is wrong: The information supports allowing more time, not automatically postponing all care.
Why D is wrong: Some clients need rest during care rather than only after completing a task.

#7. Which statement best describes nocturia?

Correct answer: C. The need to urinate during the night

Explanation: Nocturia means needing to urinate during the night, and it can disrupt sleep. With advancing age, reduced bladder tone increases the need to void frequently.

Why A is wrong: Noise-related waking is an environmental sleep disturbance.
Why B is wrong: Emotional distress can disturb sleep but does not define nocturia.
Why D is wrong: Medication-related drowsiness is a different sleep issue.

#8. Which bed-related knowledge helps a CCA support a client’s comfort?

Correct answer: D. Knowing bed types and how to position them

Explanation: Clients may spend considerable time in bed. Knowledge of different beds and positioning helps the CCA support comfort.

Why A is wrong: Independently selecting mattress firmness is not the described responsibility.
Why B is wrong: Positioning needs vary between clients.
Why C is wrong: Client preferences matter when promoting rest.

#9. Which pair best supports a client who stays mentally busy with family matters and does not feel ready for bed?

Correct answer: D. Avoid business or family matters before bed and allow a flexible bedtime

Explanation: Clients are encouraged to avoid business or family matters before bedtime. Bedtime should remain flexible and occur when the client is ready to sleep.

Why A is wrong: Physical activity before bedtime is discouraged, and bedtime is not meant to be forced earlier.
Why B is wrong: These measures do not address mental activity or sleep readiness.
Why C is wrong: These are valid measures but do not address both concerns in the question.

#10. A client says privacy helps them rest. Which action best supports this preference?

Correct answer: D. Close the door and privacy curtains if the client wants

Explanation: Lack of privacy can prevent rest. Closing the door and privacy curtains supports privacy when the client desires it.

Why A is wrong: Noise reduction supports quiet but does not directly provide privacy.
Why B is wrong: Lighting affects the environment but not privacy.
Why C is wrong: Quieter visitors do not provide the same privacy measure.

#11. Which action may help a client relax through social connection?

Correct answer: D. Support visits or calls from family and friends

Explanation: Visits or telephone calls from family and friends may promote relaxation, especially for clients living alone or in a facility.

Why A is wrong: Shortening conversation does not provide the described social support.
Why B is wrong: Quiet time may support rest but does not address social connection.
Why C is wrong: Solitary activity serves a different purpose.

#12. An illness makes morning care tiring for a client. Which approach best fits the client’s rest needs?

Correct answer: D. Allow rest periods during or after care as needed

Explanation: Clients who are ill or injured often need frequent rest and may need breaks during or after care. They should not be rushed through activities.

Why A is wrong: Requiring care to be completed first ignores the need for breaks.
Why B is wrong: Shortening all care does not address individual rest needs.
Why C is wrong: Delaying care entirely is not the supported response.

#13. Which daily sleep range matches a newborn?

Correct answer: D. 14 to 18 hours

Explanation: Newborns from birth to four weeks average 14 to 18 hours of sleep each day.

Why A is wrong: This range matches adolescents.
Why B is wrong: This range matches middle to late childhood.
Why C is wrong: This range matches infants after the newborn period.

#14. A client living alone feels lonely and needs to use the toilet before resting. What best addresses both barriers?

Correct answer: B. Meet the elimination need and support social contact

Explanation: Elimination needs can interfere with rest. Contact with family or friends may also promote relaxation and meet needs related to love and belonging.

Why A is wrong: Environmental changes do not address either identified need directly.
Why C is wrong: Warmth and additional time do not resolve the two barriers.
Why D is wrong: Reading does not replace meeting an elimination need.

#15. Which action best supports dignity before rest?

Correct answer: B. Help with hygiene and preferred sleep clothing

Explanation: Cleanliness, grooming, and comfortable personal nightwear may help a client feel better and rest more easily. Protecting dignity supports rest.

Why A is wrong: Some clients may find institutional clothing embarrassing.
Why C is wrong: Grooming supports dignity rather than serving as a way to create fatigue.
Why D is wrong: Choosing without the client does not reflect the client’s preferences.
