Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
The continent urinary reservoir may absorb urea and electrolytes, resulting in imbalances. Electrolytes may need to be monitored. A significant portion of the bowel is required to form the pouch and stoma. The patient must be able and motivated to manage self-catheterization. A drainage collection device is not necessary. In a cutaneous ureterostomy, the ureters are brought to the skin surface.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Following cystoscopic tumor resection, patients are followed at 3-month intervals for tumor recurrence. Follow-up needs to be timely, and 1 or 3 years would be too long. The patient would be encouraged to make a follow-up appointment at any time if the symptoms recur.
