Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Needle aspiration with biopsy allows the physician to take a small sample of cells to determine if they are malignant or benign. Paracentesis is drainage of fluid from the abdomen, and thoracentesis is drainage of fluid from the pleural cavity. Fiberoptic endoscopy allows the physician to see inside the upper and/or lower GI tract.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Bleeding within the upper GI tract will cause stools to appear black and tarry with a foul odor as the blood is digested by the lower GI tract. Bleeding within the lower GI tract presents with soft stools that have bright red streaks. Watery stool with particles of food is indicative of gastroenteritis. Hard lumps that are difficult to pass indicate constipation, often from medications or lack of fiber in the diet.
