Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Prolapsed hemorrhoids will be visible from the rectum and anal area. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible by an external examination. The colostomy and femoral hernia are not located in the rectal area.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The patient with celiac sprue is placed on a gluten-free diet. This treatment is generally successful, as long as the patient entirely avoids gluten. Avoiding high-protein foods, eating a vegetarian diet, and eliminating whey are not relevant for the patient with sprue.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
