Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

While vital, REM sleep does not normally occupy the majority of sleeping hours. The brain is highly active during REM sleep, and it accounts for 20 to 25 of normal sleep. Brief apneic spells are not uncommon, and the circadian rhythm often does not match the 24-hour length of day. It is normal for PCO2 to increase and PO2 to decrease during deep sleep.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, E

Feedback:

Reflux via the eustachian tubes, IgG deficiency, and exposure to RSV have all been implicated in the development of AOM. Cerumen accumulation in the outer ear, deficient IgM, and sensorineural deficits are unlikely to contribute to AOM.
