NUR 6111 EXAM 3 MALE GU DISORDERS AND MENS HEALTH
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | NUR 6111 EXAM 3 STUDY GUIDE
& PRACTICE TEST 2026/2027
urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ involuntary loss of urine (in an adult patient) from
the urethra
major inconvenience
more common in females then males
effects of urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ increased risk of skin infections:
incontinence dermatitis (diaper rash), bacterial/ fungal infections
activities such as running or other high impact exercises are often avoided or stopped
avoiding social activities, isolation, depression and anxiety
financial: 23% of women take time off work
RF incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ increasing age
declining estrogen levels
multiparity
dementia
DM
spinal cord injury/ lesion
,prostatic hypertrophy
stroke
medications (ex. diuretics)
immobility
Stress urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ predictable loss of urine with activities that
increase intra abdominal pressure (sneezing, laughing, exercising)
Urge urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ urgency as well as increased urinary frequency
or nocturia. Patients typically lose urine on the way to the toilet
Mixed urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ has both components of stress and urge
incontinence
Overflow urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ urinary retention and subsequent leakage
patients may strain to pass urine or have a sensation of incomplete emptying
Functional urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ occurs when there are barriers to
toileting such as cognitive impairment, physical frailty or immobility
assessment findings urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ involuntary loss of urine
urinary urgency
perineal irritation
pelvic exam: may detect GU pathology
,rectal exam: may demonstrate prostatic pathology, fecal impactation
abdomen: may palpate distended bladder
urinalysis for urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ abnormal: hematuria, pyuria,
bacteriuria, glycosuria, proteinuria
order urine culture if bacteria is detected
Cystometry urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ severe urgency or bladder contractions
when <300ml of bladder volume= urge incontinence
BUN, creatinine urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ suspected obstruction,
noncompliant bladder, urinary retention
FBS and Ca levels urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ polyuria and lack of diuretic drugs
dx urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ urinalysis
cystometry
BUN, creatinine
FBS and Ca levels
voiding diary 203 days indicating when incontinent episodes occur
post voiding residual volume measurement (200-300ml)
, prevent urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ kegel exercises or pelvic floor therapy
treatment of BPH
maintain healthy weight
adequate oral hydration
avoidance of bladder irritants (caffeine, alcohol)
smoking cessation
non pharm management stress urinary incontinence - Correct answer ✔✔ behavioral
therapies: timed or double voiding, smoking cessation, weight loss, pelvic muscle exercises with
or without a physical therapist, pessary, bowel management
surgical: injectables, bladder neck suspensions, slings, artificial sphincters
pharm mgt Stress UI - Correct answer ✔✔ not FDA approved
alpha adrenergic agonist: pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)- increase urethral pressure and outlet
resistance, may improve s/s without significant side effects
tricyclic antidepressant: Imipramine 10-25mg PO up to TID- may be useful in younger patients
who have failed other therapies, alpha agonist and anticholinergic effects
Estrogen- topical cream (may help improve urethral closure)
