Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The nurse would suspect obstructive uropathy because failure of the passage of urine can cause urinary retention, resulting in UTI. Further testing will be needed to diagnose the problem.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Leukoplakia is a smooth, irregular white patch found on the tongue, lips, cheeks, or oral mucosa that can be rubbed off with force and is considered a precursor to oral cancer. A patch that lasts more than two weeks generally is biopsied.
