Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It is believed there is a familial tendency toward varicosities caused by incompetent valves, which afflicts both males and females. Habitual long periods of standing, repeated pregnancies, and obesity are other predisposing factors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
During an abdominal aneurysmectomy, the small intestine and ascending colon are delivered outside the abdomen to increase exposure; warm moist tapes, moist radiopaque towels, plastic sheeting, or a bowel bag may be used to protect these structures.
