  1. will determine the presence of bladder tumors.
  2. is used to evaluate urinary retention and incontinence.
  3. can identify types of bladder infections.
  4. can evaluate the need for urethral surgery.

Question 2

  1. is the result of a contaminated specimen.

Answer: 2

1. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It is not used to determine tumors.
2. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It can provide information about bladder structure and function.
3. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It is not used to determine infections.
