Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,5
Rationale 1: Helicobacter pylori is a risk factor for the development of PUD.
Rationale 2: Daily use of aspirin is a risk factor for the development of PUD.
Rationale 3: Blood type AB is not a risk factor for the development of PUD. Blood type O is a risk factor as the antigen may be a target of H. pylori attachment.
Rationale 4: The consumption of caffeine-free soda is not a risk factor for the development of PUD. The consumption of caffeine is associated with the development of PUD.
Rationale 5: The use of tobacco products is a risk factor for the development of PUD.
Global Rationale: Helicobacter pylori, daily use of aspirin, smoking, and having blood type O increases risk for peptic ulcer. Blood type AB and consumption of caffeine-free soda is not implicated.

Cognitive Level: Applying

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Psychological stress is one risk factor towards the development of a peptic ulcer, but this is not the best choice.
Rationale 2: Smoking puts a client at risk for a peptic ulcer, but this is not the best choice.
Rationale 3: This client has two risk factors for developing a peptic ulcer, making this the best choice.
Rationale 4: Taking aspirin, an NSAID, puts this client at risk for a peptic ulcer, but this is not the best choice. Acetaminophen is not associated with the development of peptic ulcers.
Global Rationale: All of these clients have some risk. Stress, smoking, and use of NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and platelet inhibitors increases risk. The client using two of these factors is at highest risk.
