Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: RLS is a neurological disorder that causes unpleasant sensations in the legs. It can cause irritability and fragmented sleep. It is not primarily a psychological condition, although it may contribute to anxiety and depression. There may be a physical component to the condition; however, it is not primarily a physical condition. An obsessive-compulsive disorder involves obsessive thoughts or fears and is not part of restless leg syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea include obesity, male gender, snoring, witnessed apnea, genetic disorders, menopause and hypertension. Opioid addiction may be a factor in central sleep apnea. Narcolepsy and hypersomnolence are different disorders.
