Answer to Question 1

B
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the prepuce, which covers the glans penis. It is an elective procedure for full-term, healthy infants.

Answer to Question 2

B
Chronic use of narcotic analgesics can interrupt normal bowel function by causing a decrease in peristalsis, thus increasing time for fluid absorption from the feces, resulting in constipation.
