Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C
Interviewing older woman for urinary elimination should include the questions about signs and symptoms of infection, leaks, and use of pads. The nurse should ask about how much water and other liquids do you drink during the day? But not assume that this fluid included alcohol. When interviewing men, it is appropriate to ask about starting and maintaining a urine stream.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
It is normal for older adults to urinate once or twice during the night. Water should be consumed hours before bedtime, a commode can reduce the time from sensation to void, and constipation can increase incontinence.
