Answer to Question 1

D
Peristalsis, a progressive wavelike movement, moves fluid, gas, and digestive substances (often called a bolus) through the esophagus to the stomach.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
An annual gynecologic examination, including a Pap smear, is essential for the older woman; she should also be knowledgeable about self-examination of the breasts, which has not been shown to lack diagnostic value. PSA tests are not a replacement for testicular self-exam.
