Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The epididymis is the final area for the storage and maturation of sperm. Inflammation of the epididymis can impact the sperm's maturity. The epididymis does not produce testosterone. The epididymis does not impact the blood flow to the penis. The epididymis does not have an influence on the ability to achieve an erection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Annual prostate examination is recommended for males after the age of 50. The United States Preventive Task Force (USPSTF) has issued recommendations regarding the use of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening. The USPSTF recommends against PSA screening in males 75 years of age and older. In men younger than 75 the recommendations are to review individual risk factors to determine the use of the test. Cystoscopy is a diagnostic test that allows for a scope to be inserted through the urethra to view the bladder. It is not used to diagnose prostate cancer.
