Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Bacterial infection is often present in acute cholecystitis and may cause an elevated temperature and respiratory rate. Offering to call the surgeon to postpone surgery and asking about the last meal consumed are not appropriate responses. The surgeon will make the determination about the type of surgery to be performed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Modifiable risk factors for cholelithiasis include obesity, hyperlipidemia, and yo-yo dieting. Age and family history are not modifiable risk factors.
