Answer to Question 1

4. A massage therapist

Rationale:
Clients who show a readiness to deal with any addiction will face stress. A massage therapist can help members of the group learn relaxation techniques as an alternative therapy. A dentist would not be appropriate for this group. A psychiatrist would be cost prohibitive. Since smoking is not illegal, a lawyer would not be of much help for this group.

Answer to Question 2

B
Factors that contribute to functional urinary incontinence include altered mobility, manual dexterity, ability to easily access the toilet, or cognitive changes. Urge incontinence is the complaint of involuntary leakage accompanied by or preceded by an urge to void. Urethral hypermobility is the abnormal movement of the bladder base and urethra during physical exertion. Reflex urinary incontinence is a loss of coordination between the bladder and sphincter mechanism, causing a functional obstruction of the bladder outlet and urinary retention.
