Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It is always important to listen to the stories of seniors and to honor their life histories. Changing the subject is seldom appropriate, and although referrals to senior centers and historical societies may be beneficial in some cases, encouraging elders to record and share their stories with the younger generation is always a good idea.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Urgency incontinence can be aided by adherence to a toileting schedule, Kegel exercises, biofeedback, and medications.
