Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The desired outcome for a patient with stress urinary incontinence related to sphincter incompetence is for the patient to improve their pelvic floor muscle strength through exercises such as Kegels. Therefore, choice D is the best option as it focuses on the patient performing four to five squeezes (Kegel exercises) for 10-15 seconds, which will strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and potentially improve the patient's urinary incontinence. Choices A, B, and C do not specifically address the issue of sphincter incompetence or the need for pelvic floor muscle strengthening.
