Answer to Question 1

D
The two advance directive documents are durable power of attorney (response A) and a living will (response C). These are legal, enforceable documents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Stress incontinence is a sudden loss of small amounts of urine when coughing, laughing, or lifting. It is more common in women than in men, often as a result of damage to the pelvic floor muscles during childbirth (response A). Urge incontinence, not stress incontinence, is most common in long-term care facilities, where individuals may not get the immediate help they need (response B). Overflow incontinence is caused by bladder outlet obstruction creating impaired emptying (response D).
