Answer to Question 1

C
Activity intolerance is measured by changes in vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and symp-toms such as chest pain or shortness of breath. The oxygen saturation indicates physiologic to-lerance to activity. The other options do not show physiologic tolerance.

Answer to Question 2

C
Acute gastritis causes transient inflammation, hemorrhages, and erosion into the gastric mucosal lining. Although the cause may be undetermined, it is frequently associated with alcoholism, as-pirin or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) ingestion, smoking, and severely stressful conditions such as burns, trauma, central nervous system damage, chemotherapy, and radiothe-rapy. It can cause abdominal pain. Smoking is a risk factor. The patient could develop pernicious anemia.
