NCLEX Questions on Gastrointestinal Disorders Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following substances secreted by the gastric mucosa of the stomach facilitate protein digestion?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: gastric acid and pepsin. Gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) creates an acidic environment for pepsin, an enzyme that breaks down proteins. Bicarbonate and histamine do not directly facilitate protein digestion. Mucus protects the stomach lining. Gastric lipase aids in fat digestion, not protein digestion.
