Answer to Question 1

NH3 is elevated prior to bleeding because the liver has lost at least part of its ability to make urea. It is elevated even higher after the bleeding because the blood in the gut is an excellent substrate from which intestinal bacteria produce NH3 that can be absorbed across the intestinal wall, even in the colon.

Answer to Question 2

Morphine sulfate.

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.
