Answer to Question 1

2. A turning point in life.

Rationale:
Crisis situations such as a divorce can become turning points or junctures in life that result in a change in equilibrium, positive or negative. The client may have experienced a situational crisis and stress, but the events of the client's last year have resulted in a turning point. A maturational crisis is a developmental progression to the next level of maturity, a predictable event experienced by nearly all individuals.

Answer to Question 2

A
Transient causes of urinary incontinence include urinary tract infection. Chronic urinary incontinence refers to one of four types of incontinence: stress, overactive bladder, overflow, and extraurethral. Stress urinary incontinence is the uncontrolled loss of urine caused by physical exertion in the absence of a detrusor muscle contraction. There is no classification as unstable urinary incontinence.
