Erica is a 50-year-old woman who developed insomnia around the time that she began menopause.
 
  She began treating her insomnia with over-the-counter hypnotics with reasonable success but stopped taking them early this week on the advice of a friend. Erica now describes her insomnia as being worse than ever. The nurse should recognize what factor as the likely cause of her present insomnia?
  A) The fact that she stopped taking hypnotics suddenly rather than gradually
  B) The fact that she did not replace the hypnotic with a different drug prior to stopping the first drug
  C) The fact that her insomnia is attributable to hormonal causes rather than psychosocial factors
  D) The fact that she did not allow enough time to develop a stable serum level of the drug
