Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Patterns of urinary elimination depend on the integrity of the spinal cord as well as physiologic, emotional, and social factors. Diminished bladder capacity, relaxation of pelvic floor muscle tone, and degenerative changes in the cerebral cortex are age-related changes that increase the risk of incontinence and lead to urinary urgency, respectively, in older adults.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Tube-feeding administration sets are replaced every 24 hours regardless of the feeding schedule.
