drug use (NSAIDs), H. pylori infections, certain gastric tumors, and those for
GERD. - Correct Answer: Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
25.Vary in severity from superficial erosions to complete penetration through
the GI tract wall. Develops because of an imbalance between destructive
forces and protective mechanisms - Correct Answer: Peptic Ulcer
Disease (PUD)
26.Types of Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) - Correct Answer: Duodenal Ulcers
