Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Asthma may be exacerbated by the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents for arthritis, as-pirin for circulation, nonselective beta-blockers for hypertension, or glaucoma eye drops that contain beta-blockers. Feeling that the asthma is under control and previous surgery are not di-rectly related.

Answer to Question 2

A
Typically, individuals with overflow incontinence complain of frequent losses of small volumes of urine, which are commonly a result of cystoceles. Burning indicates a urinary tract infection. Not making it to the bathroom is generally functional incontinence. Losing control of the bladder with sneezing or laughing is a manifestation of stress incontinence.
