Answer to Question 1

A
Effectiveness is determined by compliance for nearly any regime, and unfortunately compliance with CPAP is less than 50. The other statements are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
Heart-healthy lifestyle changes concern smoking cessation, stress management, blood pressure control, exercise, weight loss, and a low-fat, low-sodium diet. Low-carbohydrate foods are not considered part of heart-healthy lifestyles.
