Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The fact that antibacterial drugs penetrate poorly into the chronically inflamed prostate makes treatment difficult. Inflammatory prostatitis, not chronic prostatitis, is believed to be an autoimmune problem. Urethral catheterization does not provide resolution of the underlying infection, though treatment modalities do exist.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Seventy-five percent of woman with chlamydial infections are asymptomatic. Blindness is a rare complication in adults who live in industrialized countries, and both men and women can become sterile from the effects. Syphilis, not chlamydial infections, has a course of three distinct stages.
