ANS: 3
Structural abnormalities, such as a deviated septum, nasal polyps, certain jaw configurations, or enlarged tonsils predispose a client to obstructive apnea. Individuals with mixed apnea often have signs and symptoms of right-sided heart failure. Respiratory tract infections do not predis-pose a client to obstructive sleep apnea. Clients with obstructive apnea are often middle-age, obese men. Obesity itself does not predispose a client to obstructive sleep apnea.
