Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
BPH occurs when the prostate gland enlarges and extends into the bladder neck, causing obstruction of urine flow. UTIs can result from urinary stasis, as the retained urine acts as a medium for organism growth. Gradual dilation of the ureter (hydroureter) and kidneys (hydronephrosis) can occur. Nitrogen products can accumulate in the blood (azotemia) and cause renal failure if the urinary obstruction is not relieved.
Bladder cancer is not a complication of BPH.

Answer to Question 2

A
Percussion is performed by placing the middle finger of one hand on the abdomen and striking the finger lightly below the knuckle and listening for the pitch of sound produced. A dull thud would be heard over the liver. Tympany would be heard over the stomach and intestines, and resonance would be heard over lung tissue.
