Answer to Question 1

A, C
Hemorrhoids may be seen in patients with a history of constipation. Many women develop hemorrhoids with pregnancy and childbirth. Although an enlarged prostate causes urinary problems, there is no indication that this causes hemorrhoids. There is no evidence that older adults are at a higher risk for hemorrhoids.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Women who are sexually active; who have abnormal findings on external examinations; who have abdominal, pelvic, or genitourinary complaints; or who are on hormone therapy require an internal genital examination.
