Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

The priority in the treatment of incontinence in the elderly is an acknowledgement that it is not an inevitability and that the exact causes should and most often can be identified. This identification by way of history-taking and examination would supersede teaching about protective devices or exercises.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Heavy microscopic hematuria, proteinuria, and sensorineural deafness and eye disorders are characteristic of Alport syndrome. This symptomatology is less characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus glomerulonephritis, Henoch-Schnlein purpura nephritis, or immunoglobulin A nephropathy.
