Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Infants are born with little ability to concentrate urine. An infant's urine is usually very light in color and without odor until about 6 weeks of age, when the nephrons are able to control reabsorption of fluids and effectively concentrate urine. Infants do not normally have scanty, highly concentrated, or dark and odorous urine.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Urinary retention occurs when urine is produced normally but is not excreted completely from the bladder. Factors associated with urinary retention include medications, an enlarged prostate, or vaginal prolapse. Incontinence is involuntary loss of urine from the bladder. Retention is an accumulation of urine in the bladder. Frequency is voiding more often than usual.
