Question 1
Free
Multiple Choice
All of the following are found during rapid eye movement sleep EXCEPT:
Choose correct answer/s
the diaphragm functions normally.
the person is easy to awaken.
dreaming occurs.
skeletal muscles are paralyzed.
Check answer
Question 2
Free
Multiple Choice
All of the following are evaluated during a polysomnographic sleep study EXCEPT:
Choose correct answer/s
breath sounds.
chest and/or abdominal movement.
electro-oculogram (EOG).
nasal and oral air flow.
Check answer
Question 3
Free
Multiple Choice
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is useful in the management of the patient with obstructive sleep apnea because it:
Choose correct answer/s
pushes air into and out of the lungs like a mechanical ventilator.
prevents airway collapse.
stretches the J receptors in the chest wall to stimulate breathing.
delivers a tidal volume breath to the patient.
Check answer
Question 4
Free
Multiple Choice
A CPAP titration polysomnogram is performed to:
Choose correct answer/s
find the maximum CPAP level for the functional residual capacity.
determine the lowest possible CPAP level.
find the CPAP level to maintain an open airway.
determine the pressure needed for negative-pressure ventilation.
Check answer
Question 5
Free
Multiple Choice
First-line treatment for the management of hyperventilation-related central sleep apnea includes:
Choose correct answer/s
CPAP.
adaptive servo-ventilation (VPAP).
mechanical ventilation.
palatopharyngoplasty.
Check answer
Question 6

Central sleep apnea
COPD
Obstructive sleep apnea
Laryngeal edema (epiglottitis)

neck size.
hypertension.
hypoglycemia.
chronic nasal congestion.

Question 9
Multiple Choice
All of the following may be an advantage of in-home portable sleep testing EXCEPT:
Choose correct answer/s
convenience.
patient acceptance.
can be easily performed over multiple nights.
decreased cost.
published standards for scoring or interpretation.

Question 10
Multiple Choice
The rationale behind the use of supplemental oxygen in the treatment of sleep apnea is to:
Choose correct answer/s
preoxygenate the airway prior to the apneic episodes.
stimulate the central chemoreceptors and prevent apneic episodes.
increase the respiratory drive in the medulla.
blow off carbon dioxide in the alveolus.
