    As one ages is there an increase or decrease in the sensation of thirst?

    Correct Answer
    decrease
    Explanation
    As one ages, there is typically a decrease in the sensation of thirst. This is due to various factors such as a decrease in the body's ability to conserve water, a decrease in the number of thirst receptors in the brain, and a decrease in the body's overall water content. Additionally, older adults may not feel thirsty even when they are dehydrated, which can put them at a higher risk for dehydration. Therefore, it is important for older individuals to be mindful of their fluid intake and drink water regularly, even if they do not feel thirsty.

    The involuntary losso fo urine that occurs soon after feeling an urgent need to void is called:

    • Mixed incontience

    • Stress incontinence

    • Over-flow incontience

    • Urge incontinence

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Urge incontinence
    Explanation
    Urge incontinence is the correct answer because it refers to the involuntary loss of urine that happens after feeling a strong and sudden urge to urinate. This condition is often caused by an overactive bladder, where the bladder muscles contract too frequently or unexpectedly. It can be triggered by various factors such as certain medications, urinary tract infections, or neurological conditions. Urge incontinence is different from stress incontinence, which is the leakage of urine during physical activities or when pressure is exerted on the bladder. Mixed incontinence refers to a combination of both urge and stress incontinence. Overflow incontinence is the inability to completely empty the bladder, resulting in constant dribbling or frequent leakage.

    True or False:When collecting a urine sample, the first voided urine of the day is not collected because it is considered not to be fresh urine.

    Correct Answer
    true
    Explanation
    The first voided urine of the day is not collected because it is considered not to be fresh urine. This is because overnight, urine can accumulate in the bladder and mix with any remaining urine from the previous day, which may affect the accuracy of certain tests. Therefore, it is recommended to collect a midstream urine sample after discarding the first portion to ensure a more accurate representation of the current urine composition.

    True or False:Most people void during sleeping hours

    Correct Answer
    false
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Most people do not void (urinate) during their sleeping hours. The body typically reduces urine production and increases the production of an antidiuretic hormone called vasopressin at night, which helps in reducing the need to urinate during sleep. However, some individuals may have medical conditions or habits that cause them to wake up and void during the night. Overall, it is not a common occurrence for most people.

    The surgical creation of an alternate route for excretion of urine is called

    Correct Answer
    urinary diversion
    Explanation
    Urinary diversion refers to the surgical procedure that creates an alternative pathway for the excretion of urine. This procedure is typically performed when the normal route for urine excretion is blocked or damaged, such as in cases of bladder cancer or urinary tract obstruction. Urinary diversion can involve rerouting the urine to a stoma, a surgically created opening on the abdominal wall, or creating a new bladder using a segment of the intestine. This allows the urine to bypass the affected organs and be excreted through a different route.

  • 31. 

    When higher nerve centers develop early in life, the _____ control of micturation develops.

    Correct Answer
    voluntary
    Explanation
    When higher nerve centers develop early in life, the voluntary control of micturation develops. This means that as the brain and nervous system develop, an individual gains the ability to consciously control the process of urination. This control allows them to hold in urine when necessary and release it at appropriate times. This development of voluntary control is an important milestone in a child's development and is typically achieved during early childhood.

    Weakening of which muscles is a common cause of urinary incontinence.

    Correct Answer
    pelvic floor
    pelvic
    pelvic floor muscles
    Explanation
    Weakness in the pelvic floor muscles can lead to urinary incontinence. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the bladder and controlling the release of urine. When these muscles are weakened, they may not be able to properly hold urine, resulting in leakage or urinary incontinence. Therefore, weakness in the pelvic floor muscles is a common cause of urinary incontinence.

    • Credes (C) scale

    • French (F) scale

    • Kegel (K) scale

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. French (F) scale
    Explanation
    The correct answer is French (F) scale. The French scale is used to measure the diameter of catheter lumens. It is a numerical scale that indicates the size of the catheter, with larger numbers representing larger diameters. The Credes scale is not related to catheter lumens, but rather refers to a technique used in urology to assist with bladder emptying. The Kegel scale is also unrelated to catheter lumens, but instead refers to exercises used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is the French (F) scale.

    Rate this question:

  • 45. 

    What type of medication can lighten the colour of urine to pale yellow?

    Correct Answer
    diuretics
    Explanation
    Diuretics are medications that increase the production of urine. They work by causing the kidneys to remove excess water and salt from the body. This increased urine production can dilute the concentration of substances in the urine, resulting in a lighter color. Therefore, diuretics can lighten the color of urine to pale yellow.

    Rate this question:

  • 46. 

    Which of the following is synonymous with a 24-hour output of less than 50 mL of urine?

    • Renal failure

    • Kidney shutdown

    • Anuria

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all of the options listed - renal failure, kidney shutdown, and anuria - are synonymous with a 24-hour output of less than 50 mL of urine. Renal failure refers to the inability of the kidneys to properly filter waste from the blood, resulting in decreased urine output. Kidney shutdown is another way to describe the same condition, where the kidneys cease to function effectively. Anuria specifically refers to the absence of urine production. Therefore, all three terms are interchangeable in this context.
