  3. can identify types of bladder infections.
  4. can evaluate the need for urethral surgery.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

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.
4. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It is not used to determine urethral conditions.
