Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

BPH is benign condition that does not necessarily progress to cancer. It is caused by an increase in size of the prostate gland and is seen in older males. Alpha blockers will help control the symptoms. There are nonsurgical treatments available, such as medication to shrink the gland along with surgical management, such as resection.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The most common risk factor for pancreatitis is alcohol abuse. Appendicitis usually involves loss of appetite and nausea and/or vomiting soon after abdominal pain begins. Lactose intolerance is more common in Native Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and African-Americans and in those with a history of celiac disease. Food poisoning generally causes some nausea and vomiting.
