Because of its presentation and effects on the body, which disorder is most likely to cause significant disruption to a patient's autonomy and employment?
1. Insomnia
2. Narcolepsy
3. Restless legs syndrome
4. Breathing-related sleep disorders
Answer: 2
Explanation: Disruption to the patient's autonomy and employment impact the patient's psychological and social wellness domains. Narcolepsy, because it involves sleep attacks, sleep paralysis, and can induce hallucinations, is likely the most disruptive to a patient's life. Narcolepsy can result in loss of the ability to drive or hold employment. The other disorders, depending on their severity, can certainly cause significant alterations in function; however, theses conditions are not as likely to have the same impact on autonomy and employment.
