what is a diverticulum?

a. sac of fluid in an organ

b. neoplastic lesion

c. outpouching of a wall of an organ

d. inflammatory region of an organ

Explanation:

For the first question: CT (Computed tomography) is an x-ray based imaging test, and the case notes it showed a distended bladder with large postvoid residual. Cystoscopy is an endoscopic procedure, pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves, and cystourethrogram is not the test referenced here.
For the second question: A diverticulum is defined as an outpouching of an organ's wall; the other options do not match this standard medical definition.

Answer:

1. c. Computed tomography
2. c. Outpouching of a wall of an organ
