Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the contents of the stomach, including solids and fluids, flow back into the esophagus and sometimes into the mouth.

Answer: L
 Lesophageal varices are enlarged and swollen veins in the esophagus, which can rupture and cause bleeding. This can lead to vomiting of blood, which can then be returned to the mouth.

Answer: O
 Ileus is a condition in which the intestines become unable to contract normally and move food and other materials through the digestive system. This can cause solids and fluids to back up into the stomach and be regurgitated into the mouth.

Answer: M and L
 Both gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal varices can cause solids and fluids to be returned to the mouth from the stomach.
