Answer to Question 1

A
The older adult with diminished manual dexterity may need assistance with ostomy care. The other assessments are appropriate for patients of all ages.

Answer to Question 2

C
BPH would place this patient at risk for postrenal failure. Prerenal failure is often the result of decreased cardiac output or acute fluid volume loss. Intrarenal failure consists of damage to the actual nephrocytes.
