Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Duodenal ulcers occur with greater frequency than other types of peptic ulcers and are commonly caused by H. pylori infection and NSAID use. Neither antacids nor caffeinated beverages con-tribute to ulcer formation. Fiber is important, but consuming limited fiber will not contribute to ulcer formation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A Cushing ulcer is a stress ulcer associated with severe head trauma or brain surgery that results from decreased mucosal blood flow and hypersecretion of acid caused by overstimulation of the vagal nerve. Cushing ulcers are not associated with infections or H. pylori. Curling ulcers develop secondary to burns.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
