Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Vegetables such as cabbage, cucumbers, and onions are commonly known for producing gas. Flatulence, or flatus, results from swallowing air while eating or sluggish peristalsis. Another cause is the gas that forms as a by-product of bacterial fermentation in the bowel. Apples, fish, and chicken do not produce inordinate amounts of gas.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The finding should be documented as an abrasion. The finding should not be documented as a wound, laceration, or ulcer. A wound is a break in the skin. A laceration is a torn, jagged wound. An ulcer is an open crater-like area.
