Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight to retract over the glans penis. Paraphimosis is a condition in which the foreskin cannot be moved back over the glans penis once retracted. Urethritis is a condition in which the urethra is infected or inflamed. Signs of urethritis include redness and edema around the glans and foreskin, eversion of urethral mucosa, and drainage. A urethral stricture is suspected if the urinary meatus is pinpoint size.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Stress incontinence is involuntary urination occurring with coughing, sneezing, or straining. Stress incontinence can be either partial or complete leakage of urine from the bladder. Functional incontinence results when there is an inability to reach the toilet in time; reflex incontinence occurs with spinal cord damage; and urge incontinence may be due to excessive intake of fluids, diminished bladder capacity, or urinary tract infection.
