Which nutrient is poorly absorbed in achlorhydria?
a.) Vitamin D
b.) Vitamin B12
c.) Bile salts
d.) Proteins
e.) Fats........ ANSWER ......(b)
Vitamin B12
Hypophosphatemia has been associated with all of the following
EXCEPT:
, a.) impaired diaphragmatic contractility
b.) treated diabetic ketoacidosis
Page | 2
c.) malabsorption coupled with carbohydrate refeeding
d.) chronic alcoholism
e.) respiratory muscle hyperresponsiveness........ ANSWER ......(e)
It is seen in patients with chronic alcoholism, diabetic ketoacidosis,
sepsis, and severe malnutrition after carbohydrate refeeding. It can also
be seen in surgical patients who are not receiving enough phosphate
repletion from parenteral nutrition. Hypophosphatemia causes muscle
weakness, and probably affects the diaphragm more than other muscles,
therefore leading to respiratory failure. Studies have shown lower
contractility of the diaphragm
Phosphorus deficiency may lead to insulin resistance as well
What is the main nutrient for colonocytes?
a.) Glutamine
b.) Alanine
c.) Short chain fatty acids
d.) Glucose........ ANSWER ......(c)
Short chain fatty acids
(Note: the primary fuel source though for enterocytes is glutamine)

a.) PSA
b.) CEA
c.) AFP
d.) CA 19-9
e.) CA 15-3........ ANSWER ......(a)

What is the embryologic origin of the inferior parathyroid gland?
a.) 4th arch
b.) 4th pouch
, c.) 3rd arch
d.) 3rd pouch........ ANSWER ......(d)
Page | 4
Derivatives of the 3rd pouch include the inferior parathyroid glands and
the thymus. The main nerve supply is the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Superior parathyroids come from the 4th pouch
What is the cause of hypotension and decreased EtCO2 during
laparoscopic surgery
a.) Tension pneumothorax
b.) Inferior vena cava compression
c.) CO2 embolus
d.) Anesthetic overdose........ ANSWER ......(c)
Increased levels of glutamine are associated with all of the following
EXCEPT:
a.) decreased incidence of clinical infections in patients receiving bone
marrow transplantation
b.) vitro suppression of hepatoma growth
c.) alleviation of depletion of muscle glutamine stores
d.) decreased glutathione levels in tumor cells during radiation therapy or
chemotherapy
