Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
Infection with H. pylori and chronic use of NSAIDs are the major causes of duodenal ulcers. Consuming spicy foods, trauma, and antibiotics do not lead to duodenal ulcer disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Functional constipation is a type of or primary constipation that is triggered by a low residue diet and low fluid intake. A sedentary lifestyle and lack of regular exercise are other common causes of this type of constipation. Secondary constipation is a result of a pre-existing condition that may be a neurogenic disorder or colon cancer.
