Answer to Question 1

B
Dumping syndrome often occurs after a full or partial gastrectomy. Vagotomy may cause gastric stasis, diarrhea, and fat malabsorption. Pancreatectomy may cause type 1 diabetes and malab-sorption of many nutrients. Small bowel resection may cause malabsorption of multiple nutrients, depending on the site and extent of resection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Many patients with head and neck cancer enter surgery with protein-energy malnutrition. Dehy-dration, nausea, and vomiting are not common. Rather than gaining weight, most patients lose weight due to the cancer process and poor intake.
