Chapter 7 Urinary Function
1. Although urinary obstruction and urinary incontinence have almost opposite
effects on urination, they can both result from:
A) bladder structure changes.
B) bladder wall atrophy.
C) micturition reflex spasms.
D) bladder distensibility loss.
2. The body compensates for obstructed urine outflow. Compensatory changes
to chronic obstruction include:
A) bladder spasms.
B) urinary frequency.
C) high residual volume.
D) overflow incontinence.
3. A patient fell off a ladder and sustained a spinal cord injury that has resulted
in bladder dysfunction. During the period immediately after the spinal
injury, spinal shock develops and the bladder has function.
A) atonic
B) spasmodic
, C) uninhibited
D) hyperactive
4. In men, the condition of nonrelaxing external sphincter with urine retention
is commonly caused by:
A) psychosocial disorders.
B) prostate enlargement.
C) chronic stress response.
D) pelvic inflammatory disease.
5. In women, pelvic floor weakness may cause which type of incontinence?
A) Urge
B) Stress
C) Overflow
D) Overactive
6. Many factors contribute to the incontinence that is common among the
elderly. A major factor is increased:
A) detrusor muscle function.
B) intake of liquids and water.
C) urethral closing pressure.
D) use of multiple medications.
7. Dysfunction of the muscle contraction can disrupt the ability to expel
urine from the bladder.
A) trigone
B) sphincter
C) detrusor
D) trabeculae
