|---|---|
| stress apprasial | how a person interprets the impact of the stressor |
| hans seyle | endocrinologist who studied how the body responds to stressors |

| 6 year olds sleep | 11-12 hours |
| 11 year olds | 9-10 hours |
| decongestants | vasoconstrict |
| epworth | daytime sleepiness scale white sitting and reading, watching tv, sitting inactive, passenger in car, lying down to rest. 0=never nod off 1-slight nod off 2-moderate chance nodding off 3-high chance nod off |
| older adult sleep considerations | decline in rem sleep, 7-8 hrs a day, prone to RLS |
| melatonin | neurohormone, controls circadian rhythm |
| opioids suppress | rem sleep |
| benzodiazepines leads to | dependence and daytime sleepiness |
| antihistamines | possible daytime drowzy |
| purposes of health care record | facilitates interprofessional communication, legal record of care, justification for billing, process of needed for quality and performance improvement, education |
| EHR | lifetime record |
| EMR | health care visit record |
