Answer to Question 1

A
Daily doses of aspirin reduce clotting by prolonging clotting time, thus helping prevent clots that can cause an MI.

Answer to Question 2

A
Loud, rapid bowel sounds are indicative of hypermobility, which could result in diarrhea. Absent bowel sounds are associated with paralytic ileus. Normal bowel sounds present as soft gurgles and clicks every 5 to 15 seconds. Hypoactive bowel sounds indicate decreased motility and could indicate that the patient is constipated?
