  • 2. 

    Most ulcers are found in the:

    • Ileum

    • Stomach

    • Liver

    Correct Answer
    A. Stomach
    Explanation
    Most ulcers are found in the stomach. This is because the stomach lining is constantly exposed to stomach acid and digestive enzymes, which can damage the protective layer of mucus that lines the stomach. When this protective layer is compromised, the acid and enzymes can irritate and erode the stomach lining, leading to the formation of ulcers. Ulcers can also occur in other parts of the digestive system, such as the duodenum, but the stomach is the most common location.

    The Cecum is NOT a part of the Large Intestine.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The cecum is actually a part of the large intestine. It is a pouch-like structure located at the beginning of the large intestine, where the small intestine connects to it. The cecum plays a role in the absorption of fluids and salts, as well as housing beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion. Therefore, the statement that the cecum is not a part of the large intestine is false.

    Reglan is used as a GI stimulant, as an anti-emetic, and in the treatment of GERD.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Reglan, also known as metoclopramide, is a medication that is commonly used as a gastrointestinal stimulant. It helps to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, which can be beneficial for conditions such as gastroparesis. Additionally, Reglan is also used as an anti-emetic, meaning it helps to prevent nausea and vomiting. Lastly, it is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition characterized by the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Therefore, the statement that Reglan is used as a GI stimulant, anti-emetic, and in the treatment of GERD is true.

    Bile is stored in the:

    • Pancreas

    • Liver

    • Gallbladder

    Correct Answer
    A. Gallbladder
    Explanation
    Bile is a fluid produced by the liver that helps in the digestion and absorption of fats. It is then stored in the gallbladder until it is needed for digestion. When food containing fats enters the small intestine, the gallbladder contracts and releases bile into the intestine to aid in the breakdown of fats. Therefore, the correct answer is gallbladder.

    Carbs should make up 45-65% of a person's dietary intake.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. They provide fuel for the brain, muscles, and other organs. The recommended range of 45-65% ensures that individuals have enough carbohydrates to meet their energy needs and maintain proper bodily functions. However, it is important to choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables rather than refined sugars and processed foods.

    Saturated fat intake should NOT exceed __________ of a person's total fat intake.

    • 2%

    • 5%

    • 10%

    Correct Answer
    A. 10%
    Explanation
    Saturated fat intake should not exceed 10% of a person's total fat intake. This is because consuming too much saturated fat can increase the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood, which can increase the risk of heart disease. It is recommended to limit the intake of saturated fats and replace them with healthier fats, such as unsaturated fats, which can have a positive impact on overall health.
