Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Functional incontinence results from physical, environmental, or psychosocial causes. Impaired mobility is one such cause. Urge incontinence occurs when the patient must void immediately when the urge is perceived. Stress incontinence is the result of coughing or laughing. Total incontinence is the loss of all voluntary control over urination and urine loss occurring without stimulus and in all positions.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Overfilling the collection bag can damage the seal, allowing leakage and contact of urine with the skin. The urine collection device is changed as needed. Teaching self-catheterization technique is not an appropriate intervention for this problem. Monitoring for foul-smelling urine does not help with the risk for impaired skin integrity.
