4
Rationale 1: While the size of the bladder varies slightly in adults, the adult bladder typically holds approximately 300 to 500 ml of urine; therefore, 450 ml would not be considered decreased from normal amounts.
Rationale 2: Concentrated urine refers to the degree of dilution of the urine rather than the amount.
Rationale 3: While the size of the bladder varies slightly in adults, the adult bladder typically holds approximately 300 to 500 ml of urine; therefore, 450 ml would not be considered increased from normal amounts.
Rationale 4: The adult bladder typically holds approximately 300 to 500 ml of urine, so 450 ml would be considered within the normal range of urine.
