Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The process of emptying the bladder is termed micturition, voiding, or urination. Sometimes increased abdominal pressure, such as occurs when sneezing or coughing, forces an involuntary escape of urine, especially in women because the urethra is shorter. Any involuntary loss of urine that causes such a problem is referred to as urinary incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Levodopa (l-dopa), an antiparkinson drug, and injectable iron compounds can lead to brown or black urine. Anticoagulants may cause hematuria (blood in the urine), leading to a pink or red color. Diuretics can lighten the color of urine to pale yellow. Phenazopyridine (Pyridium), a urinary tract analgesic, can cause orange or orange-red urine.
