Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Symptoms of bladder obstruction include poor force of urinary stream, intermittency of voided stream, feelings of incomplete bladder emptying, and posturination dribbling. They may also include urinary frequency, nocturia, nocturnal enuresis, and urgency. Renal colic is a symptom of upper urinary tract obstruction. Children with bladder obstruction have a weak urinary stream. Urinary tract infections are not associated with bladder obstruction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Promoting development of normal body image is extremely important. Surgery involving sexual organs can be upsetting to children, especially preschoolers, who fear mutilation and castration. Proper preprocedure preparation can facilitate coping with these issues. Preventing urinary complications is important for defects that affect function, but for all external defects, repair should be done as soon as possible.
