Ati health assessment proctored exam
When the nurse is obtaining a health history of the urinary system, the client reports "leaking" urine when coughing or laughing. Which of the following problems is the client likely experiencing?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Stress incontinence: This occurs when urine leaks due to increased abdominal pressure from activities like coughing or laughing, indicating a weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. B. Obstructive incontinence: This is not a recognized type of urinary incontinence; it may refer to urinary obstruction issues, which are different from stress incontinence. C. Overflow incontinence: This involves leakage due to an overfilled bladder and is not typically related to activities that increase abdominal pressure. D. Urge incontinence: This involves a sudden, intense urge to urinate and may lead to involuntary leakage, but it is not specifically linked to coughing or laughing.
