Question 1 of 5
The nurse recognizes which of the following as a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Obesity is correct. Excess weight, particularly around the neck, increases the risk of airway obstruction during sleep, making obesity a major risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. Deep vein thrombosis is not a known risk factor. Being female is incorrect as obstructive sleep apnea is more common in males. Atherosclerosis is not a direct risk factor, though untreated sleep apnea can contribute to cardiovascular issues.
