Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The patient should identify physical and psychosocial stressors that exacerbate the sleep dis-turbance in order to attempt successful self-management of the problem. Neither stimulants nor CPAP therapy are prescribed for this disorder. The duration of flurazepam therapy is considerably shorter.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Persons with obstructive sleep apnea often have a large neck circumference that appears to be related to pressure being applied to the trachea. Neither an enlarged chest nor enlarged nos-trils would cause the airway obstruction associated with this disorder. Blackened eyes are related to trauma or allergies.
