Question 1 of 5
What manifestation is not present in dumping syndrome following a gastrectomy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Borborygmi refers to the audible sounds produced by the movement of gas and fluid in the intestines. This can occur in dumping syndrome due to increased intestinal motility and rapid gastric emptying, making this a present manifestation. Nausea and vomiting can occur in dumping syndrome, particularly shortly after eating, due to the rapid movement of food into the small intestine, which can irritate the gut.
Therefore, this is a present manifestation. Dizziness can occur in dumping syndrome, often as a result of rapid shifts in blood volume and blood sugar levels after eating. This symptom can be attributed to the body's response to the sudden influx of food and fluid into the intestines, leading to symptoms like weakness and dizziness. Hence, this is a present manifestation. Hypertension is not typically associated with dumping syndrome. In fact, many individuals may experience hypotension (low blood pressure) due to the rapid shift of fluid to the intestines, which can reduce circulating blood volume.
