Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The need for frequent toileting is a result of decreased bladder capacity. Weaker bladder muscles increase the risk of urinary tract infections. Tests for glucose in the urine are needed on a case-by-case basis. The need most associated with decreased renal mass and reduced glomerular filtration is age-adjusted drug dosage.

Answer to Question 2

A
The second procedure is the double-barrel colostomy, where the bowel is brought up through the abdominal surface, or loop colostomy.
