Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Rest factors for sleep apnea include being male, smoking habit, and excess weight. There is no current research to support a connection between a vegetarian diet (possible low protein) or Chron's disease to the development of sleep apnea.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
With proper instruction, the Modified MyPyramid is an easy and systematic way for a person to evaluate his/her own nutritional intake and independently make corrective adjustments. While the other options may be true, they do not directly address the known advantage of the tool.
