Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common clinical problem that continues to be underdiag-nosed. The prevalence is equivalent to that of asthma and diabetes in the general population. The spectrum of the disease ranges from sleep disruption related to increased airway resistance to profound daytime sleepiness in conjunction with severe oxyhemoglobin desaturation, pulmonary hypertension, and right heart failure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Management of OSA should be individualized but generally can be divided into three options: behavioral, medical, and surgical interventions.
