Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Cigarette smoking is an identified risk factor for bladder cancer. Alcohol use, poor nutritional status, and urinary tract infections are not noted to be risk factors for bladder cancer.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Prostatic enlargement is exceedingly common among older men, but represents a risk of malignancy that necessitates further assessment and follow-up. It is not a definitive sign of prostate cancer and is not indicative of a urinary tract infection.
