Question

match the following medications used to treat gerd to the correct medication class:
(3 pts)
esomeprazole

1. antacid

maalox®

1. histamine (h2) receptor antagonist

cimetidine

1. proton pump inhibitor

question 10 (2 points)
which of the following is a digestive system condition characterized by occult
bleeding, fatigue, weakness, obstruction, colicky abdominal pain, and adenomatous
polyps? (2 pts)
cholecystitis
pancreatitis

Explanation:

Matching Medications (GERD Treatment)

esomeprazole

Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. So it matches with 3. Proton pump inhibitor.

Maalox®

Maalox® is an antacid, which neutralizes stomach acid. So it matches with 1. Antacid.

cimetidine

Cimetidine is a histamine (H2) receptor antagonist, which blocks H2 receptors to decrease acid production. So it matches with 2. Histamine (H2) receptor antagonist.

Question 10 (Digestive System Condition)

• Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, typically with pain in the upper right abdomen, fever, etc., not matching the given symptoms.
• Pancreatitis involves inflammation of the pancreas, with symptoms like severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, not matching the given set.
• Colorectal cancer (the third option, though partially visible) can present with occult bleeding, fatigue (from anemia), weakness, obstruction, colicky abdominal pain, and adenomatous polyps (precancerous growths in the colon/rectum) as described.

Answer:

s:

• esomeprazole: 3. Proton pump inhibitor
• Maalox®: 1. Antacid
• cimetidine: 2. Histamine (H2) receptor antagonist
• Question 10: Colorectal cancer (the third option, likely labeled as such in the full question)
