Answer to Question 1

Dull percussion sounds would be elicited over a distended bladder, and the hypogastric area would seem firm to palpation.

Dysphagia is a condition that occurs with disorders of the throat or esophagus and results in difficulty swallowing. Aphasia and dysphasia are speech disorders. Anorexia is a loss of appetite.
