Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
When pain is most severe with bacterial prostatitis, stress-reducing activities, warm baths, and avoidance of sitting have been reported to assist in pain reduction. Walking and applying ice to the rectal area are not identified as ways to reduce the pain associated with bacterial prostatitis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 5
Aortic aneurysm and coronary artery bypass surgeries are identified as a potential causes for erectile dysfunction. A family history of testicular cancer will not increase the patient's risk for erectile dysfunction. Hip replacement surgery and acetaminophen (Tylenol) use are not implicated as causes for erectile dysfunction.
