Answer to Question 1

C
Patients with cancer who undergo radiation of their lower abdomen are likely to experience damage to the gastrointestinal tract in the radiated area, causing malabsorption and diarrhea. Pa-tients who receive radiation in the upper abdomen may experience nausea and vomiting due to damage to the stomach. Patients receiving radiation do not usually experience constipation.

Answer to Question 2

D
To minimize risk of infection with Cryptosporidium (a water-borne pathogen), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that patients with weakened immune systems, in-cluding those with HIV/AIDS, should drink only filtered water or water than has been boiled for 1 minute. Eating yogurt that contains live cultures may help prevent or minimize diarrhea. Avoiding eating undercooked meat, poultry, fish, or eggs will help decrease the risk of expe-riencing other food borne illnesses. Eating canned fruits and vegetables is generally safe for pa-tients with HIV/AIDS.
