Answer to Question 1

The esophagus, stomach, and duodenum can be evaluated not only by endoscopy, but also by the use of a longer flexible fiberoptic scope. This procedure is called an esophagogastroduode noscopy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Prevention measures include minimizing urinary stasis, drinking ample fluids, and prompt treatment of urinary tract infections. No incontinence or toxic kidney output is expected. Their urine may be strained but no dipstick assessments are used.
