"There are three questions associated with this case." "Insomnia-Fatigue Case 1." A patron enters the pharmacy complaining of sleeplessness. She wants to try diphenhydramine 100 mg, but she is worried about being sleepy in the morning. She is already napping all day. Which of these are symptoms of the patient?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Trouble staying asleep: There is no specific information in the case indicating that the client has difficulty maintaining sleep throughout the night. While insomnia can present this way, it has not been reported here. B. Trouble falling asleep: The case does not indicate that the client experiences prolonged sleep latency or difficulty initiating sleep. Her main concern is daytime fatigue and ongoing naps, rather than bedtime struggles. C. Early awakenings: The client has not reported waking earlier than desired or being unable to return to sleep, so early awakening is not documented as a symptom in this scenario. D. None of the above: The case describes excessive daytime sleepiness and frequent napping but does not provide evidence of classical insomnia symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or early morning awakening. Therefore, none of the listed options accurately represent her reported symptoms.
