Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The best practices of geriatric care are built on the nurse's broad knowledge base and ability to use sound, existing research in solving complex clinical problems.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Urinary symptoms begin as a result of compression of the urethra and obstruction of the vesicle neck, and these result in a hypertrophy of the detrusor muscle and obstruction of the outlet. As the hyperplasia progresses, the bladder wall loses its elasticity and becomes thinner, leading to urinary retention and an increased risk of urinary infection. The urinary symptoms of BPH are related to these anatomical changes, not medications.
