Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Urinary incontinence is a special problem for older adults who may have decreasing control over micturition, or find it more difficult to reach the toilet in time. The discomfort, odor, and embarrassment of urine-soaked clothing can greatly diminish a person's self-concept, causing him or her to feel like a social outcast.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The collection is initiated at a specific time, but the client is asked to void at that time and discard the urine from the first voiding. In most instances, a preservative is added to the collection bottle, or the collected urine is kept cold through refrigeration or putting it on ice.
