Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Although the precise cause of Peyronie's disease is not known, current belief regarding its etiology is that plaque formation results after disordered wound healing, often with calcium deposition in the plaque (Pendleton & Wang 2013). During regular sexual activity, susceptible patients may suffer nonpainful minor trauma to the penis that leads to a decrease in the elasticity of the tissue and fibroblast formation, eventually resulting in plaque. The plaque is present in the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa, which leads to shortening and curvature of the shaft of the penis. The resulting curvature can be in any direction: lateral, ventral, or dorsal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Phimosis is a condition seen only in males who are uncircumcised. The patient will often present with a history of progressive difficulty at retracting the foreskin and, in some cases, urinary obstruction. This is commonly preceded by poor personal hygiene, chronic balanitis or balanoposthitis, or poor control of diabetes mellitus. Longstanding phimosis will create a risk for chronic inflammation and squamous cell cancer of the penis.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
