Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale:Omeprazole (Prilosec) is the proton pump inhibitor that blocks the action of acid-producing cells and is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux. Ranitidine (Zantac) causes the stomach to produce less acid and may be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux,but it is a histamine-2 receptor blocker.Phenytoin
(Dilantin) is an anticonvulsant used to treat seizures,and glycopyrrolate (Robinul) is an anticholinergic agent used to inhibit excessive salivation.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale:Hirschsprung disease is the absence of autonomic parasympathetic ganglion cells in the colon that prevent peristalsis at that portion of the intestine. In newborns the symptoms include failure to pass meconium and abdominal distension. Acute diarrhea and dehydration are symptoms characteristic of gastroenteritis.Cur rant jelly,gelatinous stools,and pain are symptoms of intussusception, and projectile vomiting and altered electrolytes are symptoms of pyloric stenosis.
