Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Urinary retention or holding residual urine in the bladder after voiding creates the sensation that the client is unable to empty the bladder and may contribute to the development of infection. Difficulty starting a stream usually indicates prostate disease in the male client. Stress incontinence and urgency occur when there is loss of muscle control over urination. Telling the client the results of the recent urinalysis is an example of objective data.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
Factors that influence the number of times and the amount of urine that a client voids include the size of the bladder, medications, the client's temperature, and fluid intake. Bowel pattern does not usually affect the amount of urinary output.
