Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Self-examination is effective in the early identification of testicular tumors. Self-examination is not relevant to prostate cancer and BPH, while penile cancer is exceedingly rare in older men.

Answer to Question 2

B
Low serum albumin levels result also from excessive loss of albumin into urine or into third-space volumes, causing ascites or edema.
