Question A - Brian is a 30-year-old male who was recently discharged from the hospital after a minor surgery. He is now complaining of pain and burning during urination, and a constant urge to urinate throughout the day. Tell what tests the physicians might order to confirm his diagnosis, What results might you expect? What is his treatment and how long do you think he needs to be treated for? ,and Would his treatment be different if he was a female?
Question B - The national U.S. cesarean section rate was 4.5% in 1965 when it was first measured (Taffel et al. 1987). In more recent years, the national cesarean section rate is much higher and has been increasing steadily in subsequent decades. With the 2007 rate at 31.8%, about one mother in three now gives birth by cesarean section, a record level for the United States. Why do you think this rate has increased over the years?
