Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Avoidance of alcohol and purine can help with the symptoms of gout. The other cited diets are less likely to directly influence the man's symptoms.

C
A common complaint is constant, severe pain; in such cases, meperidine (Demerol) PCA is often administered. Morphine may cause spasms of the sphincter of Oddi.
