Answer to Question 1

pepsin

Pepsin is activated by the hydrochloric acid to break down protein for digestion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, F
The Rome Criteria include that the patient experience discomfort at least 3 days a month within the last 3 months, pain relieved by defecation, onset associated with change in stool frequency, and onset in association with a change in stool appearance. Although increased flatus is associated with diverticulitis, it is not part of the Rome Criteria.
