Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Micturition, voiding, or urination all indicate the act of urinary elimination. Incontinence indicates lack of control of elimination, and can be applied to urinary control or bowel control.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Erectile dysfunction has no influence on urinary elimination in most cases, so this would not be part of the urinary elimination history. All of the other issues would be important to assess.
