Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
With mixed apnea, there is cessation of airflow at the nose and mouth. Initially, there is an ab-sence of respiratory effort, which is the central component, followed by at least 2 cycles of res-piratory effort with continued absence of airflow, which is the obstructive component.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The polysomnographic tracing of a patient exhibiting obstructive sleep apnea shows paradoxical movement of the chest and abdomen and recurrent complete airway obstructions, leading to ox-ygen desaturation.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
