    What is examined during an upper gastrointestinal series?

    • The esophagus, the stomach, and the small intestines

    • The spine and the liver

    • The liver and the bile

    • The stomach and the kidneys

    Correct Answer
    A. The esophagus, the stomach, and the small intestines
    Explanation
    During an upper gastrointestinal series, the esophagus, stomach, and small intestines are examined. This procedure involves the use of contrast material, such as barium, which is ingested by the patient. X-ray images are then taken to visualize the anatomy and function of the upper digestive tract. This allows healthcare professionals to identify any abnormalities or conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, or small intestines, such as ulcers, tumors, or blockages. By examining these specific organs, doctors can diagnose and monitor various gastrointestinal disorders.

    What is examined in the lab to detect if the H pylori is present?

    • Blood, stool, breath test

    • Urine

    • Saliva and sweat

    • Hair and skin

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood, stool, breath test
    Explanation
    Blood, stool, and breath tests are examined in the lab to detect the presence of H pylori. H pylori is a bacterium that infects the stomach and can cause various gastrointestinal issues. Blood tests can detect the presence of antibodies produced by the body in response to the infection. Stool tests can identify the presence of H pylori antigens or genetic material in the feces. Breath tests involve the patient drinking a solution containing a specific substance, which is metabolized by H pylori if present, leading to the release of certain gases that can be detected in the breath. These tests are commonly used to diagnose H pylori infections.

    What's the other term for Upper gastrointestinal series?

    • Barium swallow

    • Balloon swallow

    • Balloon shallow

    • Barr Swallow

    Correct Answer
    A. Barium swallow
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Barium swallow". This is another term for an upper gastrointestinal series, which is a diagnostic test that involves swallowing a liquid called barium. The barium coats the inside of the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine, allowing them to be visible on X-ray. This test is used to evaluate the structure and function of the upper gastrointestinal tract and can help diagnose conditions such as ulcers, tumors, and blockages.

    What's an endoscopy?

    • It's when your doctor uses a scope to examine your upper digestive system

    • It's when your doctor uses fingers to examine your upper digestive system

    • It's when your doctor uses a scanner to examine your upper digestive system

    • It's when your doctor uses a tube to examine your upper digestive system

    Correct Answer
    A. It's when your doctor uses a scope to examine your upper digestive system
    Explanation
    An endoscopy is a medical procedure in which a doctor uses a scope, a long flexible tube with a light and camera at the end, to examine the upper digestive system. This allows the doctor to visually inspect the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine. The scope is inserted through the mouth and guided down the throat, providing real-time images of the digestive tract on a monitor. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions such as ulcers, inflammation, tumors, and bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

    How do you know that you have H pylori through a breath test?

    • If you have bad breath

    • If your breath sample contains too much oxygen

    • If your breath sample contains sulfur

    • If your breath sample contains the radioactive carbon in the form of carbon dioxide

    Correct Answer
    A. If your breath sample contains the radioactive carbon in the form of carbon dioxide
    Explanation
    The presence of radioactive carbon in the form of carbon dioxide in the breath sample indicates the presence of H pylori. This is because during the breath test, the patient is given a drink containing a small amount of radioactive carbon. If H pylori is present in the stomach, it breaks down the urea in the drink, releasing carbon dioxide that contains the radioactive carbon. This can be detected in the breath sample, confirming the presence of H pylori.

    What does the lab test for H pylori involve?

    • Tests to determine whether the bacterium H pylori is present in your body

    • Tests to determine whether the bacterium H pylori is present in your stool

    • Tests to determine whether the bacterium H pylori is present in your urine

    • Tests to determine whether the bacterium H pylori is present in your blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Tests to determine whether the bacterium H pylori is present in your body
    Explanation
    The lab test for H pylori involves conducting tests to determine whether the bacterium H pylori is present in your body. This could include tests on stool, urine, or blood samples to detect the presence of the bacterium.

    What is the most accurate test for H pylori?

    • The breath test

    • Stool test

    • Blood test

    • Urine test

    Correct Answer
    A. The breath test
    Explanation
    The most accurate test for H pylori is the breath test. This test involves the patient consuming a special liquid or meal that contains a substance that is metabolized by the H pylori bacteria. If the bacteria are present in the stomach, they will produce certain gases that can be detected in the patient's breath. This test is highly accurate and non-invasive, making it a preferred method for diagnosing H pylori infections. Stool tests, blood tests, and urine tests are also used to diagnose H pylori, but the breath test is considered the most accurate.

    What is the least accurate test for H pylori?

    • Blood test

    • Urine test

    • Skin test

    • Breath test

    Correct Answer
    A. Blood test
    Explanation
    The blood test is the least accurate test for H pylori because it detects antibodies that may still be present even after the infection has been treated or resolved. This can lead to false positive results, indicating the presence of H pylori when it is actually absent. Other tests, such as the breath test or the stool test, are more reliable as they directly detect the presence of the bacteria.

    What is an Upper gastrointestinal series?

    • It's series of tests of your upper digestive system

    • It's series of blood tests of your upper digestive system

    • It's series of X-rays of your upper digestive system

    • It's series of X-rays of your lower digestive system

    Correct Answer
    A. It's series of X-rays of your upper digestive system
    Explanation
    An upper gastrointestinal series is a series of X-rays that are taken to examine the upper digestive system. This includes the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. The X-rays are taken after the patient drinks a contrast material, which helps to highlight the digestive organs and make them more visible on the X-ray images. This procedure can help to diagnose conditions such as ulcers, tumors, and blockages in the upper digestive system. It is a non-invasive and relatively safe way to evaluate the structure and function of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
