Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cholecystitis can be acute or chronic, but both forms are almost always caused by a gallstone lodged in the cystic duct. Accumulation of bile in the hepatic duct would not lead to cholecysti-tis. Neither the accumulation of fat nor a viral infection leads to cholecystitis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Epigastric or midabdominal pain ranging from mild abdominal discomfort to severe, incapacitat-ing pain is one of the manifestations of pancreatitis. Right lower pain would be a symptom of appendicitis. Right upper quadrant pain would be manifestation of liver inflammation. Suprapu-bic pain would be related to full bladder or colon problems.
