Answer to Question 1

D
Steatorrhea (an increase of fat in the stool) results from malabsorption or pancreatic insufficiency and is determined with stool studies. The result of the urea breath test is positive if the patient has a Helicobacter pylori infection. Gastric acid stimulation is used for the detection of duodenal ulcers, gastric atrophy, and gastric carcinoma.

Answer to Question 2

C
A patient in diabetic ketoacidosis can experience a variety of complications, including fluid volume overload, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, cerebral edema, and infection.
