Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Increased redness, swelling, or discharge from the urinary meatus may indicate UTI or sexually transmitted infection. Urinary meatus on the dorsal surface of the penis indicates epispadias. Urinary meatus on the ventral surface of the penis indicates hypospadias.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Urinary incontinence is not a normal part of aging and should be reported. Urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia are more common in older adults. These may represent normal changes expected with aging.
