Answer to Question 1

A
Breath sounds are not part of a polysomnographic sleep study. All of the other listed physiologic parameters, and others, are measured during the study.

Answer to Question 2

B
Because of air trapping, which occurs during an asthma episode, decreased vocal (and tactile) fremitus and a hyperresonant percussion note would be expected.
