Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Appendicitis is manifested originally with periumbilical pain that then migrates to the right lower quadrant pain with rebound tenderness. A low-grade fever is common. Colon cancer may be asymptomatic, followed by bleeding. Pancreatitis is manifested by vomiting. Hepatitis would be manifested by upper abdominal pain, not lower.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
One of the complications is anemia due to iron malabsorption, which may result from decreased acid secretion. Diarrhea, not constipation, occurs. The reflux would be alkaline, not acidic. Hic-cups are not associated with gastrectomy.
