Question 1 of 5

A nurse instructs a class of older adult women about Kegel exercises. In which of the following urinary conditions would Kegel exercises be effective?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Stress incontinence


Rationale: Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which can help improve bladder control in cases of stress incontinence. Stress incontinence occurs when there is increased pressure on the bladder, such as during coughing or sneezing. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, individuals can better control urine leakage in these situations.

Summary of other choices:
A: Functional incontinence - Kegel exercises do not address the underlying causes of functional incontinence, which are related to physical or cognitive impairments affecting the ability to reach the bathroom in time.
C: Urinary retention - Kegel exercises may worsen urinary retention by further tightening the pelvic floor muscles, potentially exacerbating the issue.
D: Fecal incontinence - Kegel exercises target the pelvic floor muscles specific to bladder control, not bowel control.
Therefore, they are not effective for fecal incontinence.
