question 43

acute gastritis or peptic ulcer may result in:
a) diarrhea
b) sialorrhea
c) hyporemesis
d) choleresis
e) hematemesis

Explanation:

Acute gastritis or peptic ulcer can cause bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract, leading to hematemesis (vomiting of blood). Diarrhea (A) is more related to intestinal issues. Sialorrhea (B) is excessive salivation, not typical here. Hyporemesis (C) is reduced vomiting, and cholemesis (D) is vomiting of bile, less associated with these conditions compared to hematemesis from gastric/ulcer bleeding.

Answer:

E. hematemesis
