I did some research and for Q6 (A) is the right answer. Someone chose fundoplication and got it wrong. GERD can have upper GI bleeding as a complication (which is severe/refractory) enough to require fundoplication and symptomatic type 1 sliding hernia is treated with medical therapy and life style modification to reduce GERD symptoms. But the upper GI bleeding here is from salicylate so no correlation to GERD. Thanks

Am beginning to suspect that Q18 is (G) Exploratory laparotomy. Ascitic fluid from malignant tissue is the probable cause of the abdominal girth increase but if paracentesis is wrong its got to be laparotomy. Any ideas people??

18) G
Paracentesis won't help here as the cause is her previous malignancy and the nodule that is noted in cul de sac. So nothing else makes sense except that.
