Question 6

To determine the meaning of gastroenteritis, we analyze the word parts: "gastro-" relates to the stomach, "entero-" relates to the intestines, and "-itis" means inflammation. So we match this to the option about inflammation of the stomach and intestines' mucous membrane.

We recall medical terminology: "Emesis" is the term for the act of vomiting. "Hyperemesis" is excessive vomiting, "Hematemesis" is vomiting blood, and "Nausea" is the feeling of needing to vomit (not the act).

Answer:

C. Inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the stomach and intestines
