Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Dull percussion sounds would be elicited over a distended bladder, and the hypogastric area would seem firm to palpation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Dysphagia is a condition that occurs with disorders of the throat or esophagus and results in difficulty swallowing. Aphasia and dysphasia are speech disorders. Anorexia is a loss of appetite.
