Answer 1

The correct answer is option d. Expressed reluctance to share allergy information.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of assessing sleep disorders, healthcare staff will make a note of a patient's reported allergies even if the patient has misunderstood the question, failed to provide accurate information, experienced difficulty recalling allergies, expressed reluctance to share allergy information, or has not encountered any allergies.

This is important because allergies can have an impact on the patient's overall health and may also affect the management of their sleep disorder.
