Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The large intestine contains host flora that manufacture B-complex vitamins and vitamin K, not vitamin E.
Rationale 2: The small intestine, not the large intestine, absorbs most of the nutrients from food.
Rationale 3: Major functions of the large intestine include absorption of water and elimination of stool.
Rationale 4: Food travels through the large intestine for 12 to 24 hours, not for 3 to 6.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3
Rationale 1: A close family history of PUD increases the client's risk for developing the disease.
Rationale 2: The risk for developing PUD is higher in those with type O.
Rationale 3: Consumption of beverages that contain caffeine increases the risk for PUD.
Rationale 4: The presence of excessive psychological stress increases the risk for PUD.
Rationale 5: Infection with hylicobacter pylori increases the risk for PUD. Influenza A is not associated with increased risk.
