Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The patient is informed that initially he may experience frequency and voiding small amounts with some dribbling. There should be no hematuria or clots after 2 days.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
COPD can lead to cor pulmonale, an abnormal cardiac condition characterized by hypertrophy of the right ventricle of the heart as a result of hypertension of the pulmonary circulation. Cor pulmonale results in the presence of edema in the lower extremities, as well as in the sacral and perineal area, distended neck veins, and enlargement of the liver with ascites.
