Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Older adults are likely to experience urinary urgency and frequency because of normal physiologic changes such as diminished bladder capacity and degenerative changes in the cerebral cortex. Impaired mobility could lead to functional incontinence. Antibiotics and metabolic problems do not increase the risk for urinary incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Tachycardia (100 to 150 bpm) is a fast heart rate. In tachycardia, the heart and pulse rates can exceed 150 bpm as well. Bradycardia, or a slow pulse rate, occurs in adults if the heart rate falls below 60 bpm. Heart palpitations represent the physical sensation of irregularities in the beating of the heart.
