Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Although all these conditions may occur or coexist, most common is the need for frequent urination associated with enlargement of the prostate gland. This enlargement occurs to some degree in three-fourths of men aged 65 years and older.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Catheter use should be avoided. Checking the patient for wetness is critical to maintaining skin integrity and would supersede the importance of odor. Postvoid residual scans would be helpful for incomplete emptying of the bladder.
