Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A and C are incorrect choices because acute bacterial prostatitis presents with systemic symptoms of fever, chills, and malaise, not those described in the question. An ultrasound will not assist in the diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis.

Answer to Question 2

B
