Answer to Question 1

D
Urodynamic testing is the gold standard for assessing bladder function or dysfunction by repro-ducing the patient's urinary symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

C
Know the patient's usual range of vital signs. A patient's usual values sometimes differ from the standard range for that age or physical state. Use the patient's usual values as a baseline for comparison with findings taken later.
