A client complains of inability to inhibit urine flow long enough to reach the toilet. The nurse documents the presence of which type of urinary incontinence?

Stress
Reflex
Urge
Functional

Explanation

Answer - C - This type of incontinence is called urge incontinence, caused by a hypertonic or overactive detrusor muscle that leads to increased pressure within the bladder. Stress incontinence is loss of urine with abdominal pressure. Reflex incontinence refers to loss of urine at somewhat predictable intervals when a specific bladder volume is reached. Functional incontinence is an involuntary, unpredictable passage of urine.
