Answer to Question 1

A
Airway always comes first when prioritizing care.

Answer to Question 2

Constipation or fecal impaction as well as an enlarged prostate gland (causing frequent nighttime urination) are commonly overlooked causes of incontinence. Intake and output and abdominal girth are not related to possible causes of incontinence.
