Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Age-related changes in the male reproductive system include a more pendulous scrotum, an en-larged prostate, and decreased testosterone levels. Ejaculate volume decreases over time, while arousal time lengthens.

Answer to Question 2

A
The contrast media used in the series features barium that can harden and lead to an impaction. Patients should have a bowel movement quickly after the procedure to eliminate the medium from the body. While fluids and snacks or meal trays should be given as quickly as possible, pa-tients should be educated about the possibility of white stools for several days postprocedure, and oral care should be provided, these interventions are of lesser importance since they do not directly work to quickly prevent a postprocedure complication.
