Answer to Question 1

D
The purpose of the nursing assessment for an individual with BPH is to determine the extent of prostate enlargement and its effect on function so that appropriate nursing interventions can be planned and implemented. The primary assessment focuses on the patient's current voiding pat-terns.

Answer to Question 2

B
Candidiasis is most commonly seen in diaper-clad infants, incontinent patients, and bed-bound individuals and in moisture-prone areas of the body (e.g., skin folds and axillae). The other pa-tients are not as likely to have this disorder as the incontinent patient.
