Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C

Feedback:

Methadone, used in opiate addictions, has the narcotic properties of addiction and sedation, but lacks the euphoric effects of heroin. Naltrexone is used in treatment of alcohol and opiate addictions and works by blocking the opioid receptors and euphoric effects. Fentanyl is a pain medication, and Benadryl is an antihistamine.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Obstructive apnea causes poor ventilation, poor-quality sleep, and daytime sleepiness, at best. At worst, it can contribute to depression, auto- and work-related accidents, cardiac dysrhythmias, and hypertension. Severe apnea can lead to pulmonary hypertension, polycythemia, or cor pulmonale. Periodic limb movement disorder and restless legs syndrome, although distressing and possibly indicative of a disease, are not of themselves life threatening. Narcolepsy is not a motor disorder of sleep.
