Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Nausea and lower right quadrant abdominal pain are more likely associated with appendicitis.
Rationale 2: Duodenal ulcers are associated with burning upper abdominal pain after a meal.
Rationale 3: Anorexia and weight loss are more common with gastric, not duodenal, ulcers.
Rationale 4: Duodenal ulcers do not cause low back pain radiating down the left leg.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Caffeine is a risk factor for peptic ulcer disease (PUD), so limiting caffeine will be beneficial in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Rationale 2: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are a primary cause of peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
Rationale 3: Milk can increase acid production and spicy foods are not an issue with peptic ulcer disease (PUD).
