Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Concreteness is an indication of disordered thinking. The patient is unable to translate any words except by a very concrete definition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Stress incontinence results from increased abdominal pressure, which occurs with coughing or sneezing. Urge incontinence occurs after a sudden urge to void and is associated with cystitis, tumors, stones, and CNS disorders. Overflow incontinence is associated with diabetic neuropathy and spinal cord injuries. Functional incontinence results from unwillingness or inability to get to the toilet.
