Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Patients who have an increased frequency of awakenings and microarousals have more daytime sleepiness and greater difficulty with daytime functioning than does the general population.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In a laboratory sleep study, several physiologic signals are recorded to determine whether airway closure occurs during sleep and to what extent the closure disturbs sleep continuity and cardio-pulmonary function. An electroencephalogra m (EEG), electrooculogram (EOG), and chin elec-tromyogram (EMG) are obtained for assessment of sleep stage and documentation of sleep dis-ruption due to sleep-related breathing disturbance. Airflow (measured at nose and mouth), venti-latory effort (using inductive plethysmography or piezo belts), cardiac rhythm (with a modified lead II electrocardiogram), and oxygen saturation (measured with pulse oximetry) are included in the standard testing montage.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
