Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2
Behavioral techniques such as scheduled toileting and habit training reduce the frequency of incontinence. Scheduled toileting is toileting at regular intervals (e.g., every 2 to 4 hours). Habit retraining is toileting the patient on a schedule that corresponds with the normal pattern. Intermittent straight catheterization and external catheter placement are not toileting activities. Adult incontinence devices do not reduce periods of incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2
The patient begins Kegel exercises by identifying the pelvic muscles by stopping the flow of urine during voiding and holding for a few seconds as well as by tightening the muscles around the anus as though resisting defecation. The patient should keep abdominal muscles and breathing relaxed while performing Kegel exercises. It is important to establish a routine because these exercises should be performed twice a day and continued for life.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
