Answer to Question 1

B
Stress ulcers, one type of gastric ulcer, form when gastritis becomes erosive and occur in clients experiencing stress (e.g., from trauma, burns, or radiation therapy).

Answer to Question 2

A
There is an increased risk for clots because of increased levels of clotting factors. Clients who have varicose veins, a cesarean birth, or a history of thrombophlebitis are at greater risk for thrombus formation. Early ambulation helps decrease the formation of clots.
