Answer to Question 1

B
Laboratory and clinical findings in patients with cardiovascular disease include elevated total cholesterol and triglycerides as well as cardiac cachexia (muscle and subcutaneous fat wasting).

Answer to Question 2

B
For patients with mild OSA (apneahypopnea index of 5 to 10), weight loss, sleeping on the side (if apnea is associated with sleeping on the back), avoidance of sedative medications and alcohol before bedtime, and avoidance of sleep deprivation may be all that is necessary. CPAP would be the next treatment choice.
