Question 6

Accepted Answer

Urge incontinence is the term for the loss of urine in response to a sudden, urgent need to void. This can be caused by involuntary contractions of the bladder muscles. The other options do not match this definition - overflow incontinence is characterized by the leakage of small amounts of urine due to a full bladder, reflex incontinence is caused by spinal cord damage that affects the reflexes controlling urination, and stress incontinence is the leakage of urine due to physical activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing or sneezing.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

The drainage bag should be kept below the level of the bladder to allow gravity to assist in the flow of urine into the bag. Keeping the bag above the level of the bladder could cause urine to back up into the bladder, increasing the risk of infection.

What is the definition of the term oliguria?&#10;A)A scant amount of urine&#10;B)The production of abnormally large amounts of urine&#10;C)The need to void at once&#10;D)Voiding at frequent intervals

Accepted Answer

The drainage bag should be attached to the bed frame to ensure it is secure and to prevent it from touching the floor, which could lead to contamination and infection. Attaching it to the bed frame also helps maintain the bag below the level of the bladder for proper drainage.

Question 10

The loss of urine at predictable intervals when the bladder is full is called which of the following?&#10;A)Overflow incontinence&#10;B)Stress incontinence&#10;C)Reflex incontinence&#10;D)Urinary incontinence

Accepted Answer

Reflex incontinence is characterized by the loss of urine at predictable intervals when the bladder is full, due to an involuntary reflex arc. This is often seen in individuals with spinal cord injuries or neurological disorders. Overflow incontinence (A) occurs when the bladder is constantly full and leaks urine without warning, often due to obstruction or weak bladder contractions. Stress incontinence (B) is leakage of urine during physical activity or exertion, such as coughing, sneezing, or lifting. Urinary incontinence (D) is a broad term that encompasses all types of involuntary urine loss.
