Answer to Question 1

The Clinoril and aspirin both could cause irritation of the gastric mucosa along with an increase in HCl secretion, and thus lead to gastritis. Mrs. CL is obese and the added adipose tissue in the abdominal area, along with overeating expanding the stomach, makes her a candidate for esophageal reflux. Add to this the problem of decreased esophageal motility, and she has a frequent influx of high acid content in the esophagus along with a burning stomach.

Answer to Question 2

Acetylsalicylic acid has antiinflammatory and antipyretic results. Acetylsalicylic causes inflammation of the gastric mucosa while acetaminophen typically does not.
