Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Mononucleosis is a viral infection that typically occurs in adolescence and early adulthood and is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Fatigue is a common complaint. Fever, sore throat, prominent cervical lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly are characteristic of infectious mononucleosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
With the obesity epidemic, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also increasing. Besides obesity, other predisposing and risk factors include narrowed upper airways, macroglossia, tonsillar hypertrophy, sleep medicines, alcohol, smoking, nasal obstruction, and hypothyroidism. It occurs more in middle-aged men. A thorough medication history, respiratory history, neurologic history, and mental health assessment should be performed. One of the more common symptoms of OSA is snoring, usually reported by the spouse. The patient may complain of frequent nighttime awakening, morning drowsiness, headache (caused by carbon dioxide buildup in the brain), cognitive impairment, as well as impotence and weight gain, which can be both a cause and an effect. Systemic hypertension is a complication of OSA but often resolves when the cause of the apnea is corrected.
