Answer to Question 1

D
Stress incontinence, or loss of urine when intra-abdominal pressure is increased, can be increased with weak pelvic floor muscles. Responses A, B, and C are normal aging changes of the urinary system, but they do not affect stress incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

B
When doing a head, neck, and face assessment, one does not include arms, nose, or mouth. These areas are unique and separate. It is important to assess each area thoroughly to detect subtle symptoms.
