2. urgency is always a sign of a bladder infection.
3. it is abnormal to urinate every few hours.
4. the urge to void occurs at 300-500 mL in the bladder.

Question 2

An older female client who is in the office for an annual assessment tells the nurse of experiencing incontinence. The client asks if this is a normal result of the aging process. The best response by the nurse is:

1. Yes, urinary incontinence is a normal part of aging.
2. No, the problem develops for women due to decreased progesterone.
3. Yes, over time, the muscles cause the bladder to prolapse.
4. No, but the decrease of estrogen can lead to dysuria.
