Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Examination of the abdomen may assist in the diagnosis and reveal key signs of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Visible peristaltic waves that move from left to right across the epigastric region may be evident, and palpation may reveal an olive-shaped mass in this area to the right of the midline.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The causative factor in Hirschsprung disease is the absence of parasympathetic ganglion cells in a portion of the colon.
