Answer to Question 1

exotoxins

These injuries can produce exotoxins that destroy tissue. The onset is usually sudden and may occur 1 to 14 days after injury. These organisms are anaerobic (grow and function without oxygen) and are spore-formers.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Urine pH can be lowered through diet, preventing some infections. The urge to void should not be resisted and older adults should not be encouraged to hold fluids to control their urinary elimination. Catheterization would not normally be warranted in cases of nocturia.
