True or False: patients rested an average of 83 fewer minutes in the hospital rather than at home.

• A. Not applicable
• B. Not sure
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (D)

This question checks understanding of how rest differs by setting and how to interpret a difference in minutes. If patients rest 83 minutes less in the hospital than at home, that means hospital care disrupts sleep enough to reduce total rest time by about an hour and a half. Hospitals tend to interrupt sleep with rounds, procedures, alarms, and pain management needs, while at home the environment is usually quieter and more predictable, allowing longer, more continuous rest. So the statement that patients rested 83 fewer minutes in the hospital rather than at home is true. The other options don’t address rest duration (not applicable, not sure), and saying false would imply rest is not actually shorter in the hospital, which contradicts the reported difference.
