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?

A. Overflow incontinence B. Urge incontinence C. Stress incontinence D. Reflex incontinence

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reflex incontinence. This type of urinary incontinence is characterized by the involuntary loss of urine due to the lack of voluntary control over the bladder. In clients with spinal cord injuries, nerve damage can disrupt the normal reflex arc that controls bladder function, leading to reflex incontinence. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Overflow incontinence is due to an overfull bladder;
B) Urge incontinence is caused by a sudden urge to urinate;
C) Stress incontinence occurs with increased intra-abdominal pressure; E, F, G) No additional choices given.
