Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Stress incontinence occurs when intra-abdominal pressure increases and forces urine through a weakened urinary sphincter. Lifting, sneezing, coughing, and laughing can cause stress incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Establishing a toileting schedule can train the patient's bowel so that incontinence is reduced.
