Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has urinary leakage due to nerve damage following a spinal cord injury. The nurse should identify that the client is experiencing which of the following types of urinary incontinence?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reflex incontinence. In reflex incontinence, the client experiences involuntary loss of urine due to the inability to control the bladder reflexively. This is commonly seen in spinal cord injuries where the nerves controlling bladder function are damaged. The bladder empties without the person being aware of it. Urge incontinence (choice
B) is characterized by a strong, sudden need to urinate. Stress incontinence (choice
C) occurs due to increased intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing or sneezing. Overflow incontinence (choice
D) is when the bladder is unable to empty completely, leading to leakage. In this scenario, the client's symptoms align with reflex incontinence, making it the correct choice.
