Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The most common complaint of men with BPH is decreased urine stream. Infertility is not asso-ciated with benign prostatic hypertrophy. Sexual dysfunction could be associated with BPH, but it is not as common a complaint as decreased stream. A painful prostate is not a frequent com-plaint of men with BPH.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
In about 95 of cases, delayed puberty is a normal physiologic event. Hormonal levels are nor-mal, the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is intact, and maturation is happening slowly. Only about 5 of the occurrences of delayed puberty are due to a disruption in the hypothalamus or the pituitary. Ambiguity in sex determination could play a role in delayed puberty, but this oc-currence is rare.
