Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Cryptorchidism is an identified risk factor for the development of testicular cancer. The diagnosis is no longer a leading cause of death. Hematuria is not a common symptom, and orchiectomy is still the standard treatment modality.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Symptoms of obstruction, including dribbling after urinating and the continuous sensation of having to urinate, are most likely due to enlargement of a prostate gland. Kidney stones cause intense flank pain; blood clots are usually associated with trauma or surgery; calcium sediment could imply a kidney stone or be a result of a procedure to break up kidney stones into smaller segments.
