Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An open incision is made during the nephrolithotomy or pyelolithotomy procedure in order to remove a large staghorn renal calculus, which branches from the renal pelvis into the calyces and into the ureter. A nephroscope may be used during this procedure to visualize the nephrons and locate and remove fragments of calculi.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A flexible filiform tip is preferred when needed to bypass a ureteral stricture or obstruction for drainage.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
