Question 1 of 5
When administering zolpidem to an older client, which computer documentation indicates that the desired outcome has been achieved?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Zolpidem’s goal is to treat insomnia, so sound sleep is the outcome. It doesn’t address incontinence, concentration, or emotional outbursts.
