Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Esophageal varices is the most common disorder associated with upper GI bleeding. Diverticulo-sis could lead to bleeding, but it would be lower GI rather than upper. Hemorrhoids can lead to bleeding, but they would be lower GI. Cancer could lead to upper GI bleeding, but peptic ulcers and varices are identified as more common.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Bleeding from the upper GI tract can also be rapid enough to produce hematochezia (bright red stools). Melena is a black or tarry stool. Occult bleeding is hidden bleeding. Hematemesis is vom-iting blood.
