Ans: B
Feedback: Gynecomastia can also occur in older men and usually presents as a firm, tender mass underneath the areola. In these patients, gynecomastia may be diffuse and related to use of certain medications (eg, digitalis, ranitidine). There is no indication that gynecomastia is related to the use of Gas-X, Tums, or Nexium.
