Answer to Question 1

C
Respiratory stimulants (like acetazolamide), supplemental oxygen, and adaptive servo-ventilation may be used in the management of a patient with central sleep apnea. Inhaled bronchodilator medications are not helpful because the patient's problem is not caused by bronchospasm.

Answer to Question 2

B
Asthma is more prevalent in young boys than young girls. Asthma severity peaks between ages 5 and 7 years and continues to lessen significantly during puberty.
