Answer to Question 1

D
More than 50 of the patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea are overweight. It is suggested that fat deposits around the upper airway may obstruct breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is often seen in the patients with large neck size. A neck circumference greater than 17 inches in males and greater than 16 inches in females increases the risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is commonly seen in patients with high blood pressure. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs twice as often in patients with chronic nasal congestion from any cause. Patients with diabetes, not hypoglycemia, are three times more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea than healthy individuals.

Answer to Question 2

B
A transudative pleural effusion is thin and watery with few blood cells, little cellular debris, and a low protein count.
