Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Serious complications of endoscopy include gas embolism, perforation, bleeding, hypothermia, preperitoneal insufflation, and incidental iatrogenic injury.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is used to fill the peritoneal cavity to create a pneumoperitoneum. This expands the abdomen and provides a working space.
