PMHNP Certification Q & A

Insomnia in Adolescents


Listen Later

A 14-year-old patient is being managed for social anxiety by a therapist and is doing well. However, she reports having difficulty falling asleep most nights and is asking for medication to help her sleep. Her mother acknowledges the problem and is open to the option of sleeping medication as this has been a long-term problem.

The PMHNP knows that the approach to an adolescent patient with insomnia includes all of the following except:

A. Stopping daytime napping

B. Considering a melatonin agonis

C. Eliminating screen time one hour before bedtime

D. Considering a tricyclic antidepressant
