Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
Use the bladder log to begin a prompting voiding program. Constipation is another reversible cause for incontinence. Catheter use should be avoided and limiting fluid intake is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Older adults often experience delays in retrieval of memories and working memory. Some changes in memory, even in the absence of delirium or dementia, are to be expected but they should not be discounted and would require further assessment.
