    What are the ways to do a post-void residual urine test?

    • Ultrasound

    • Catheter

    • X-ray

    • Both A and B

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The post-void residual urine test is used to measure the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination. Ultrasound and catheterization are both methods commonly used to perform this test. Ultrasound involves using sound waves to create images of the bladder and measure the amount of urine present. Catheterization involves inserting a thin tube into the bladder to drain any remaining urine. Therefore, both A (ultrasound) and B (catheter) are correct methods for conducting a post-void residual urine test.

    • It measures the speed of urination.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Uroflowmetry is a test that measures the amount of urine voided during urination and also measures the speed of urination. It is used by doctors to identify the causes of urinary difficulties. Therefore, the statement "All of the above" is the correct answer as it encompasses all the true statements regarding uroflowmetry.

    A PVR volume greater than 200 mL is considered abnormal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A PVR volume greater than 200 mL is considered abnormal because PVR (post-void residual) volume refers to the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination. Normally, the bladder should be empty after urination. However, if the PVR volume is greater than 200 mL, it indicates that there is a significant amount of urine remaining in the bladder, which can be a sign of urinary retention or other bladder dysfunction. Therefore, a PVR volume greater than 200 mL is considered abnormal.

    Which of the following causes urine flow problems?

    • Kidney stones

    • Nerve damage

    • Sclerosis

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the listed conditions can cause urine flow problems. Kidney stones can obstruct the urinary tract, leading to difficulties in passing urine. Nerve damage can affect the nerves that control bladder function, resulting in urinary retention or incontinence. Sclerosis, specifically referring to multiple sclerosis, can cause damage to the nerves that control the bladder and urinary sphincter, causing problems with urine flow. Therefore, all of these conditions can contribute to urine flow problems.

    What is prostatitis?

    • An inflammation of the pancreatic gland could be due to infection.

    • An inflammation of the prostate gland could be due to infection.

    • An inflammation of the salivary gland could be due to infection.

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. An inflammation of the prostate gland could be due to infection.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "An inflammation of the prostate gland could be due to infection." Prostatitis refers to the inflammation of the prostate gland, which is a small gland located below the bladder in men. This condition can be caused by various factors, including infection. Infections can occur due to bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms entering the prostate gland, leading to inflammation and symptoms such as pain, urinary problems, and fever. Therefore, prostatitis can indeed be caused by infection.

    UTI and STI can lead to urine flow problems in

    • Males

    • Females

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) and STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) can both lead to urine flow problems in both males and females. UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract and can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, pain or burning during urination, and a weak urine flow. Similarly, certain STIs, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, can also cause urinary symptoms, including difficulty or pain while urinating. Therefore, both males and females can experience urine flow problems as a result of UTIs or STIs.

    Which letter is used as a symbol for urine flow rate?

    • Q

    • V

    • Both

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Both
    Explanation
    Both the letters "Q" and "V" are used as symbols for urine flow rate. "Q" is commonly used to represent the flow rate in milliliters per second, while "V" is used to represent the flow rate in milliliters per minute. Therefore, both letters are correct symbols for urine flow rate depending on the unit of measurement being used.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Less than ________ of residual urine is normal.

    • 10 mL

    • 30 mL

    • 50 mL 

    • 100 mL 

    Correct Answer
    A. 50 mL 
    Explanation
    Less than 50 mL of residual urine is considered normal. Residual urine refers to the small amount of urine that remains in the bladder after urination. It is normal for a small amount of urine to be left behind, but if the amount exceeds 50 mL, it may indicate an underlying issue such as urinary retention or bladder dysfunction. Therefore, a residual urine volume of less than 50 mL is considered within the normal range.
