Answer: Sexually active men BETWEEN THE AGES OF 30 AND 50 YEARS OLD
Question 2: Physical Exam Characteristics of Acute Bacterial Prostatitis
Answer: Abdominal examination to detect a distended bladder and costovertebral angle tenderness.
Genital examination A digital rectal examination should be performed gently because vigorous prostatic
massage can induce bacteremia and, subsequently, sepsis. DRE results for the three conditions, we can
expect to see the following. Acute bacterial Warm, tense, swollen, boggy, and very tender prostate
Chronic bacterial Normal (may be a little boggy or focally indurated) Nonbacterial Normal or tender
prostate
Question 3: Phren Sign - Torsion or Epididymitis

in epididymitis elevation of the affected testis does not relieve the pain

Question 6: Population affected by Testicular Cancer
Answer: American males between the ages of 15 and 35.
Question 7: Explain Spinal Stenosis
Answer: Most Common source of lower back pain Caused by a narrowing of the spinal canal as a result
of degeneration of the bony facet joints and the intervertebral disks
Question 8: Common Characteristics of lumbar spinal stenosis

, Question 9: Chronic Pain
Answer: Greater than 3 months in duration Pain symptoms become more generalized topographically
and less localized to the site of injury or initial complaint Pain referral patterns that shift in location as
well as intensity, frequency, and quality Pain that does not change with movement, rest, or over time
Patients usually report pain as constant or continuous (less like to be intermittent). Mood or current
psychological status tends to affect or worsen the pain complaints.
Question 10: Number of Joints Involved in Polyarticular Disorder
Answer: Four or more joints
Question 11: Four Cardinal Signs of Joint Inflammation
Answer: Erythema Warmth Pain Swelling
Question 12: DeQuervian's Tensynovitis
Answer: Inflammation of tendons on the side of the wrist at the base of the thumb. Like CTS(carpul
tunnel), it may be caused by repetitive movements but is also associated with pregnancy and rheumatoid
disease. Most common in middle-aged women. The main symptom is pain felt over the thumb side of
the wrist that may travel up the forearm. The pain is worse when forcefully grasping objects or twisting
the wrist. A catching or snapping sensation may be felt when moving the thumb.
Question 13: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Answer: Occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand,
becomes constricted. Repetitive activity with the hands that cause irritated tendons, causing compression
of the median nerve. Symptoms may include burning, tingling, or itching numbness of the hand and
fingers, especially the thumb, middle, and index fingers.
Question 14: Medial Epcondylitis
Answer: Golfer's Elbow Pain is often sharp in the medial epicondyle and radiates down the arm from the
inside of the elbow. Pain occurs upon extension of the wrist or supination of the forearm such as when
gripping, twisting, or flexing at the wrist. There may be weakness in the hand or wrist as well or
numbness and tingling in the ring and little fingers.
Question 15: Lateral Epicondylitis
Answer: Tennis Elbow Pain is often sharp in the lateral epicondyle and radiates from the outside of the
elbow and down the forearm. Pain occurs upon extension of the wrist or supination of the forearm such
as when gripping and twisting. There may be weakness in the forearm or a weak grip.
