Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Cholelithiasis is the presence of gallstones within the gallbladder or in the biliary tract. Obesity, DM, intake of cholesterol-lowering drugs, and Mexican American ethnicity are risk factors for the development of gallstones. A sedentary lifestyle is a risk factor for cholelithiasis.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
HBV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and hepatitis D virus (HDV) may cause chronic inflammation and necrosis of the tissue. HBV and HCV are transmitted by parenteral routes and sexually as they are present in semen, vaginal secretions, and saliva of carriers, as well as breast milk and human feces. HBV is not transmitted through sweat. Sexual partners of patients who are carriers of HBV and HCV are at high risk for contracting the virus.
