Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Phenazopyridine (Pyridium) turns urine orange or red, not green, brown, or clear pale yellow.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The loss of tissue elasticity results in changes in bladder position, which contributes to the development of UTIs. An impaired immune response and an increased risk of urinary stasis contribute to the higher incidence of UTIs in older females. Prostatic secretions are found in males.
