Answer to Question 1

C
Structural abnormalities such as nasal polyps, certain jaw configurations, enlarged tonsils, or a deviated septum predispose a client to obstructive sleep apnea.
Individuals with heart disease may have sleep disorders. Women with heart disease have the majority of sleep disturbances.
Respiratory infections do not predispose a client to obstructive sleep apnea.
Obesity, smoking and alcohol use, and a history of obstructive sleep apnea greatly increase the risk of developing sleep apnea, but they do not necessarily predispose the person to sleep apnea.
