Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Benign prostatic hypertrophy, a common problem in older men, may be aggravated by androgenic effects that may enlarge the prostate further, leading to urinary difficulties and increased risk of prostate cancer. Nurses should teach these men the signs and symptoms of prostatic enlargement and the importance of reporting these manifestations immediately to prevent worsening of symptoms. Acne need not be reported immediately. Flushing, sweating, nervousness, and emotional lability are more usually experienced by women. Yellowing of the skin may be an indication of liver disease, which should be reported immediately.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The macula densa consists of immune system cells and chemicals that can respond quickly to any cellular damage or injury. The juxtaglomerular apparatus produce erythropoietin and renin. The Reninangiotensinald osterone system works to maintain blood flow to the kidneys. The countercurrent mechanism works to concentrate and dilute the urine.
