Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Symptoms of UTI are different in the older adult, especially if the immune system is depressed. Rather than experiencing painful urination and a high fever, the older adult will become acutely confused.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
Pelvic floor exercises or Kegel exercises strengthen the pubococcygeal muscles and effectively promote urinary control.
