Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Band ligation, insertion of the S/B tube, and various shunting surgeries are helpful in stopping the hemorrhage. Transfusions and water-soluble vitamins are not beneficial.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
While the tube is clamped, the patient may show signs of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. Unclamp the tube immediately to allow for drainage and relief of both nausea and pain.
