Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Stress incontinence is caused by pelvic floor muscle weakness. Urge incontinence is the inability to suppress urination after sensing the need to do so; many physical and psychological issues can be related to this problem. Overflow incontinence is related to overdistention, or overflow, of the bladder. Causes of functional incontinence include environmental barriers, physical limitations, memory loss, and disorientation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Any invasive device that enters the body provides a portal of entry for microorganisms, thus increasing the chance for infection. Invasive devices are often used to treat illnesses. Urinary catheters or tubes placed in the GI tract for decompression or feeding also increase infection risk.
