Answer to Question 1

D
If the stones are in the common bile duct and edema is present, a biliary drainage tube, or T-tube, will be inserted to keep the duct open and allow drainage of the bile until the edema resolves.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The increased fragility of the fragile vagina in postmenopausal women causes it to be more easily irritated, which heightens the risk of vaginitis. Vaginal, cervical, and breast cancers do not have etiologies rooted in normal, age-related changes.
