When a client tells the nurse that she recently began experiencing urgency and frequency, the appropriate question for the nurse to ask as part of the psychosocial history is
a. "Are you depressed?"
b. "Have you had a change in lifestyle?"
c. "Have you been experiencing any anxiety?"
d. "How old were you when you were toilet-trained?"
C
Anxiety and stress can stimulate or inhibit urination and may provoke urgency and frequency. Depression does not usually lead to urinary symptoms. Change in lifestyle may affect voiding patterns but probably not urgency and frequency. Young adults can have long-standing problems with urination caused by toilet training and bathroom access during early school years.
