Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The highly pathogenic E. coli serotype O157:H7 is present in the gut of infected animals. Meats from the animal may be contaminated with bowel contents. The organism is readily destroyed by heat, so cuts of meat such as steaks or roasts are less likely to cause infection, since the organism is on the outside of the meat. However, the process of grinding hamburger allows E. coli to be mixed throughout the meat. Hot dogs, canned soda, and ice cream are not associated with the bacteria.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
In Crohn disease, a patchy pattern of involvement is seen, which affects primarily the small intestine. Ulcerative colitis affects the large intestine. A diagnosis of chronic diarrhea is not supported by the information provided. The diarrhea associated with Crohn disease is frequent, causing watery stools several times a day. Gastroenteritis results from ingesting contaminated foods or beverages. Ulcerative colitis affects the large intestine.
