The test that involves the insertion of catheters into the ureters and the injection of a contrast medium is called a(n):
 
  a. intravenous pyelogram.
  b. cystourethrogram.
  c. urodynamic.
  d. retrograde pyelogram.

A nerve block is an example of pharmacological therapy to manage pain as it blocks:
 
  a. the nerves in the area where the referred pain isfelt.
 b. the nerves in the spinal cord, thus inhibiting painimpulses.
 c. the nerve root in the area from where the painoriginates.
 d. impulses by an injection of an opioid in the
  painful area.

Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) enables the individual to decide:
 
  a. when to take the analgesic tablets.
  b. when to have a dose of the intravenous drug.
  c. when to have a dose of the epidural drug.
  d. at what rate the intravenous drug shouldcontinuously run.

Symptoms of late cancer of the prostate include:
 
  a. difficulty initiating micturition, nocturia andpolyuria.
 b. difficulty initiating micturition, feeling that thebladder is not emptying and dribbling aftermicturition.
 c. difficulty initiating micturition, polyuria and
  haematuria.
  d. difficulty initiating micturition, proteinuria and
  polyuria.

d
A retrograde pyelogram outlines the renal vasculature
on x-ray film. The dye is injected directly into the ureters
rather than into a vein (intravenous pyelogram).

c
A nerve block is an injection of local anaesthetic into
the nerve root area from which the pain originates.

b
PCA uses intravenous opioids and a programmable
pump. The pump is set so that when the individual pushes a
button, a dose of the medication is given (within the limitations set by the medical officer).

b
An increase in the size of the prostate partially obstructs
flow from the bladder and causes the feeling that the bladder
is not empty.
