Answer and Explanation 11

11.  The correct answer is D.  The Ureter Vesicular Junction on average is about 3 mm and can dilate to about 5 mm. In general about 90% of kidney stones pass within 2 weeks if they are less than 5 mm.  Agents such as Flomax help relax the ureter and make it more likely for the kidney stone to pass.
