Question 2
The nurse practitioner understands that an age-related anatomic change that can lead to urinary incontinence is:
The shortening of the urethra
The reduction in bladder capacity
The increase in habitual preventative emptying of the bladder
The decline in number of urethral striated muscle fibers
The urethral striated muscle fiber is one of the anatomic structures that prevent urinary incontinence at the onset of abdominal pressure. The two anatomic structures that prevent urinary incontinence are; supportive system and sphincteric system. The urethral striated muscle fiber contributes to the closure of the vesical neck in the urethra to prevent incontinence. The urethral striated muscle fiber decreases as one age. This will have the effect of reducing the of the sphincter muscles to stand the abdominal pressure and prevent urinary incontinence. The shortening of the urethra only occurs in women and this means it does not happen for men. The change in the bladder capacity is a physiological change and not an anatomic change. For this reason, the decline in the number of urethral striated muscle fibers is the cause of urinary incontinence among the aged
3. Pelvic muscle contraction that is strategically timed to increase intraurethral pressure just before and after the event that causes urinary incontinence?
Kegel contraction
Detrusor maneuver
Reverse bladder contraction
Knack maneuver
Question 4
