Question 5 of 5
During a routine examination, the nurse notes that the client seems unusually anxious. Anxiety can affect the genitourinary system by:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Anxiety may stimulate or hinder micturition. Its most noticeable effect is to cause frequent voiding and urinary urgency. However, when anxiety leads to generalized muscle tension, it may hinder urination because the perineal muscles must relax to complete micturition. Anxiety doesn't slow the glomerular filtration rate, increase sodium resorption, or decrease potassium excretion.
