Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Enlargement of the prostate blocks the urethra, leading to urinary changes such as a decrease in the force of the urinary stream. The other questions address possible problems with infection or sexual difficulties, but they would not be helpful in determining whether there were functional changes caused by BPH.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
1.6
A concentration of 125 mg in 2 mL will result in 100 mg in 1.6 mL.
