Rationale 1: "Do you have difficulty starting your stream of urine?" Difficulty starting a stream usually indicates prostate disease in the male client.
Rationale 2: "After you urinate, does your bladder feel full or empty?" Urinary retention, or holding residual urine in the bladder after voiding, creates the sensation that the client is unable to empty the bladder and may contribute to the development of infection.
Rationale 3: "Do you ever have an accident or wet yourself when you sneeze?" Stress incontinence is most likely the cause of the client experiencing partial or complete incontinence when sneezing, coughing, and laughing due to loss of muscle control.
Rationale 4: "Do you have to hurry to the bathroom when you have to urinate?" Urge incontinence is most likely the cause of the client experiencing partial or complete incontinence if the client is consistently unable to reach the bathroom in time, and is due to loss of muscle control.
Rationale 5: "Do you know the results of your recent urine analysis tests?" Determining the client's knowledge of their urine health is important for ensuring client involvement in the plan of care.
