Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from malignancies in the United States. Over half are located in the rectosigmoid region and are typically adenocarcinomas. Risk factors include a history of polyps, positive family history of colon cancer or familial polyposis, ulcerative colitis, granulomatous colitis, and a diet low in fiber and high in animal protein, fat, and refined carbohydrates.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
GERD is the most common organic cause of heartburn. GERD is caused by decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) tone. LES control can be decreased by several medications (e.g., theophylline, dopamine, diazepam, calcium-channel blockers), foods and/or beverages (caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, fatty foods), and tobacco use. When LES tone is lower than normal, secretions are allowed to reflux into the esophagus, causing discomfort.
