Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The symptoms most commonly associated with obstructive sleep apnea in adult patients are chronic loud snoring, gasping or choking episodes during sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and personality and cognitive deterioration related to fatigue from lack of sleep.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Non-REM stages 1 and 2 predispose individuals to apneic periods because of the reduction in respiratory drive and the fluctuations between being awake and asleep. Apnea is likely again during REM sleep because of the reduction in response to chemical and mechanical respiratory stimuli.
