Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3, 5
Hepatitis B is contracted through contaminated blood and body fluids. Strategies that reduce exposure to the blood and body fluids of others, including using safe sex techniques, reduce the risk of hepatitis B transmission. Hepatitis A is transmitted via the fecaloral route and through contaminated food and water. Lannec cirrhosis is related to alcohol consumption and to chronic hepatitis B or C.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Systemic manifestations of malabsorption syndrome include anemia, cheilosis, paresthesias, and muscle cramps. Vitamin B12 helps with erythropoiesis, healing of cheilosis, and neuromuscular functioning. Bone pain is associated with vitamin D and calcium deficiency.
