Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Effective treatments for OSAHS include weight loss, nightly nasal nocturnal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and oral appliances designed to maintain patency of the upper airway during sleep. Weight loss does not assist with the other listed sleep disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Narcolepsy affects almost every aspect of daily life, including professional performance, ability to drive and operate machinery, and social interactions. Accompanying depressed mood is common, as suggested by the individual's statement that he wonders if it is worth living.
