Answer to Question 1

3
Prostatic hyperplasia, not hypoplasia, is the age-related change often seen in elderly male patients resulting in urinary retention. The other choices are age-related changes that can occur in the renal system.

Answer to Question 2

1
Other problems that occur with ankylosing spondylitis include uveitis that manifests as edema of the upper eyelid, excessive lacrimation, small irregular pupil, and swollen iris. Heel pain is a symptom of reactive arthritis. Onycholysis is seen in psoriatic arthritis. Respiratory depression is a manifestation of polymyositis.
