Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

H. pylori is associated with an increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma, gastric atrophy, and peptic ulcer. It is less likely to contribute to IBD, esophagitis, or diverticular disease. Eradication of H. pylori is difficult. Treatment requires a combination therapy that includes the use of antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor. The proton pump inhibitors have direct antimicrobial properties against H. pylori. Antianxiety medications will not kill the bacteria. H. pylori is not associated with elevated blood ammonia levels. Calcium carbonate is usually given to relieve heartburn caused by GERD.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Lantus is long-acting insulin that has a slow, prolonged absorption rate and provides a relatively constant concentration over 12 to 24 hours. Answer choice A relates to rapid-acting insulin; answer choice B relates to short-acting insulin; answer choice C relates to intermediate-acting insulin.
