Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The patient with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) describes burning and pain in the esophagus with or without dysphagia. The symptoms may occur more with eating or drinking and at night when the patient is recumbent. Persons with neuromuscular disorders, achalasia, or esophageal cancer describe difficulty swallowing or feeling of a lump in the throat.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Sore throat, fever, and prominent cervical lymphadenopathy are key signs of Epstein-Barr virus, also called infectious mononucleosis. Parotitis is swelling of the parotid glands that occur in mumps. Swelling of the deep tissues of the face often occurs with myxedema, which occurs due to thyroid disease.
