Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Initial symptoms of BPH may be urinary difficulties. The client does not empty his bladder completely when he voids and finds that he must void frequently, often during the night. He may also find starting to void increasingly difficult or painful and may notice traces of blood in his urine. Cystitis may result. The client with chronic prostatitis is usually asymptomatic, but he may complain of back or perineal pain. Symptoms of orchitis include pain and swelling in the scrotum and sometimes urethral irritation. Symptoms of epididymitis include redness, pain, and various degrees of scrotal swelling.
