The client's statement that they will continue using their CPAP machine indicates that they understand the importance of using both therapies together to manage their obstructive sleep apnea. The other options either indicate a misunderstanding of the therapies or a desire to discontinue the use of the CPAP machine, which is not appropriate for effective management of this condition.
