Patient Data Exhibits For each of the findings listed, click to indicate which are consistent with the disease process of aortic aneurysm versus gastric cancer. Each column must have at least one response option selected.

Rationale: • Auscultation of bruit: A bruit represents turbulent blood flow through a weakened arterial wall, commonly heard over an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This finding is due to the high-velocity flow through the dilated section of the aorta, which creates a buzzing or whooshing sound on auscultation. • Pulsatile mass: A palpable or visible pulsating abdominal mass is a hallmark feature of an AAA. It reflects the dilation of the aorta, often located near the periumbilical region, and can sometimes be accompanied by tenderness as the aneurysm expands. • Back pain: The aneurysm may compress nearby structures or leak slightly, causing referred pain to the lower back or flank area. This pain is often steady, deep, and unrelieved by position changes or common analgesics like acetaminophen. • Feeling of fullness: Tumors in the stomach can obstruct normal gastric emptying, leading to early satiety and abdominal fullness even after small meals. This occurs as the growing mass occupies space and interferes with digestion and gastric motility. • Fatigue: Chronic blood loss from the tumor or poor nutritional intake can cause anemia, leading to generalized fatigue and weakness. This symptom tends to develop gradually as the disease progresses and nutritional absorption declines.
