Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Cloudy urine could indicate infection due to possible urine retention and should be a priority action. Common symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia are urinary hesitancy, post-void dribbling, and a weak urinary stream due to the enlarged prostate causing bladder outlet obstruction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
200 mL/hr
100 mL  2 = 200 mL/hr.
