1. History of erectile dysfunction
2. History of stress incontinence
3. History of labor and delivery
4. History of urinary frequency or difficulty starting the flow
Correct Answer: 1
Erectile dysfunction has no influence on urinary elimination in most cases, so this would not be part of the urinary elimination history. All of the other issues would be important to assess.
