Coffee ground emesis, nausea/vomiting

Right lower quadrant abdominal pain, constipation.

Absent bowel sounds, abdominal pain

Right upper quadrant abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Cholelithiasis refers to the presence of gallstones in the gallbladder or bile ducts. The most common symptom is right upper quadrant abdominal pain, which may be colicky or steady. Nausea and vomiting are also commonly associated with cholelithiasis.

Coffee ground emesis and constipation are not typical findings associated with cholelithiasis. Absent bowel sounds may be a sign of bowel obstruction but are not specific to cholelithiasis.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Vesico-Ureteral Reflux (VUR) is a condition where urine flows backward from the bladder into the ureters and potentially up to the kidneys. This can increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and potential kidney damage. By taking antibiotics for a longer duration, the aim is to prevent or reduce the occurrence of UTIs. Antibiotics help to eliminate or control bacterial growth in the urinary tract, reducing the risk of infection and associated complications. It is important to clarify that long-term antibiotic use does not cure VUR but rather helps manage the risk of UTIs.

A. "Have additional receptors in the colon that prevents transfer of the disease to others” B. "Do not have blood pressures within normal limits when the small bowel encounters salt products." C. "Have an increased risk of aspiration with the additional mucus produced in the small bowel” D. "Do not have proper absorption of nutrients when the small bowel encounters the protein gluten.”

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system reacts by damaging the lining of the small intestine, specifically the villi. The damaged villi are unable to effectively absorb nutrients from food, leading to malabsorption and a variety of symptoms.
