Which of the following clients experiencing disrupted sleep patterns is most at risk for obstruc-tive sleep apnea (OSA)?
 
  1. A 15-year-old boy with type 1 diabetes
  2. A 22-year-old diagnosed with Crohn's disease
  3. A 49-year-old man who is an avid cross-county runner
  4. A 58-year-old woman diagnosed with chronic depression

Question 2

An older adult client diagnosed as being in the early stage of Alzheimer's disease shares with the nurse that her sleep is interrupted by the noises I hear all through the night. The nurse explains that the most likely reason for this problem is:
 
  1. The client's age
  2. A lack of presleep relaxation
  3. The amount of noise entering into the client's environment
  4. A manifestation of the disease process causing the brain disorder

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Many think OSA affects middle-age men more frequently, particularly when they are obese. However, obstructive sleep apnea is also common in postmenopausal women, younger women, and children. Although the clients in all of the options may experience OSA, the postmenopausal woman has the greatest risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
With aging, sleep becomes more fragmented, and a person spends more time in lighter stages that are easily disturbed by noise. The remaining options may be a factor but not to the degree of normal aging.
