Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Risk factors for OSA include obesity, large neck circumference, smoking, alcohol use, and a family history of OSA. Structural abnormalities such as a recessed chin, abnormal upper-airway structures, deviated septum, nasal polyps, or enlarged tonsils can predispose a person to OSA.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Medications should be used carefully and do not always improve sleep. Addressing the sleep environment, maintaining sleep routines, providing light snacks if allowed, and instituting relaxation measures will all improve sleep.
