Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
A suprapubic catheter is used for long-term continuous drainage and is inserted through a small incision above the pubic area. Suprapubic bladder drainage diverts urine from the urethra when injury, stricture, prostatic obstruction, or abdominal surgery has compromised the flow of urine through the urethra.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The anatomy of the urethra differs in males and females. The male urethra is about 51/2 to 61/4 inches (13.7 to 16.2 cm) long. The female urethra is about 11/2 to 21/2 inches (3.7 to 6.2 cm) long. This difference is important in terms of catheterization and risk for infection.

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.
