When explaining a cystometry test to measure bladder pressure during filling and voiding in a
normal adult, the nurse informs the nursing students that the normal capacity when adults have
a desire to void is
A) 100 to 150 mL.
B) 200 to 250 mL.
C) 300 to 399 mL.
D) 400 to 500 mL. Ans: D
Feedback:
, The desire to void occurs when the bladder is full (normal capacity is approximately 400 to 500
mL). At this point, a definite sensation of fullness occurs; the pressure rises sharply to 40 to 100
cm H2O; and voiding occurs around the catheter.
Which of the following individuals are likely to display identified risk factors for the
development of lower urinary tract obstruction? Select all that apply.
A) A 32-year-old woman who had a healthy delivery of her third child 4 months ago
B) A 68-year-old man who has been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
C) A 55-year-old man with diabetes who is receiving diuretic medications for the treatment of
hypertension
D) A 30-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with gonorrhea
E) A 74-year-old woman who has developed a lower bowel obstruction following several weeks
of chronic constipation
F) A 20-year-old man who has spina bifida and consequent impaired mobility.
Feedback:
BPH frequently obstructs the urethra, while sexually transmitted diseases, bowel obstructions,
and spina bifida are also associated with physical blockages of the lower urinary tract.
Postpartum women and individuals receiving diuretics would be more likely to be at risk for
incontinence rather than urinary retention.
