Answer to Question 1

D
Rapid weight loss increases risk for gallstones, so a mother who has lost 25 pounds in the past 3 months could easily develop gallstones. Underweight, regular exercise, smoking, and eating eggs do not increase risk for gallstones. Overweight increases risk for gallstones, but less than rapid weight loss.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Feedback:
There are various eating strategies that can be used to help with dumping syndrome. Eating small, frequent meals; consuming beverages between meals; eating protein at each meal are just a few.
