Final Answer :
B,C
Explanation :
Because of changes in bladder capacity and changes in blood flow to the kidneys,many older adults wake at least once during the night to void.Sexual response changes are also normal; it is common for older adult men to have less firm erections.A man who has difficulty starting his urine stream and voiding likely has an enlarged prostate,which is pathologically not normal.Burning on urination is indicative of a bladder infection and is not normal.
