Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The liver is the most commonly injured abdominal organ. Liver tissue is very friable and can hemorrhage easily.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With a total gastrectomy, the entire stomach is excised because of malignant lesions through a bilateral subcostal, long transrectus, or thoracoabdominal incision. A total gastrectomy necessitates reconstruction of esophagointestinal continuity by establishing an anastomosis between a loop of jejunum and the esophagus.
