Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Many think OSA affects middle-age men more frequently, particularly when they are obese. However, obstructive sleep apnea is also common in postmenopausal women, younger women, and children. Although the clients in all of the options may experience OSA, the postmenopausal woman has the greatest risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
With aging, sleep becomes more fragmented, and a person spends more time in lighter stages that are easily disturbed by noise. The remaining options may be a factor but not to the degree of normal aging.
