Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about sleep disorders. The nurse should include that which of the following conditions can cause obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Enlarged tonsils. Enlarged tonsils can physically obstruct the airway during sleep, leading to obstructive sleep apnea (OS
A). This obstruction causes pauses in breathing during sleep, resulting in disrupted sleep patterns and decreased oxygen levels in the blood. Heart failure (
A) is incorrect because it is not a direct cause of OSA. Brainstem injury (
B) may disrupt the sleep-wake cycle but is not a common cause of OSA. Recent weight loss (
C) can actually improve OSA symptoms by reducing the amount of tissue in the airway.
Therefore, the most likely condition to cause OSA among the choices given is enlarged tonsils.
