Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Stress incontinence is frequently linked to women who have a large family because the stretching of the vagina weakens the muscles and, in combination with pushing during delivery, there is an increased risk of bladder prolapse. It is not a hereditary condition. Kegel exercises are generally prescribed for clients with stress incontinence to strengthen pelvic muscles. The client should drink 6-8 glasses of water if she is not fluid-restricted.
