Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients with esophageal strictures may require frequent dilation with bougie dilators, which range in size from 16 to 60 French.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The stomach has three main functions: (1) it moves food along, (2) the secretory actions cause the food to break down, and (3) the endocrine component is responsible for the release of gastrin and somatostatin. Gastrin causes the release of acid, and somatostatin inhibits the release of gastrin.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
