A patient with a history of PUD reports severe epigastric pain that worsens with eating. The nurse should suspect which type of ulcer?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Pain worsening with eating is characteristic of gastric ulcers due to food-induced acid irritation.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The gall bladder (commonly structure 5 in digestive diagrams) stores bile produced by the liver until needed in the small intestine. Other structures (e.g., stomach, pancreas) do not store bile.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pancreatic enzymes (e.g., amylase, lipase, trypsin) break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and cells. They don't form proteins , acids , or wastes directly.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Digested nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream via blood vessels in the small intestine's villi, making B correct. The gullet doesn't absorb, lungs are respiratory, and large intestine absorbs water, not nutrients into blood.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Bile from the gallbladder emulsifies fats, breaking them into smaller droplets, making A correct; lipase digests fats, not emulsifies them.
