Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The fluid removed during a paracentesis is removed over a period of 30 to 90 minutes to prevent sudden changes in blood pressure leading to syncope. The bed should be in a high Fowler position. Food and fluid restriction is usually not necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The cause of cancer of the pancreas is unknown, but it is diagnosed more often in cigarette smokers, people exposed to chemical carcinogens, and people with diabetes mellitus and pancreatitis.
