What is a clinical manifestation of a urinary tract infection (UTI) in an elderly client?

Choice A rationale

Endometriosis is a disorder where endometrial cells, which normally line the uterus, implant and grow outside of the uterus. This could occur in the uterine tubes, ovaries, or even outside the pelvic cavity. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant.

Choice B rationale

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is not caused by the implantation and growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity.

Choice C rationale

Chlamydia trachomatis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. It does not involve the implantation and growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity.

Choice D rationale

A cystocele, also known as a prolapsed bladder, is a medical condition in which a woman’s bladder bulges into her vagina. It is not caused by the implantation and growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity.

Choice A rationale

Reflex incontinence is typically caused by neurological damage. It occurs when the nerves that control the bladder are damaged, leading to involuntary loss of urine.

Choice B rationale

Overflow incontinence is typically caused by blockage or obstruction of the bladder, or by poor bladder contraction. It is not typically caused by neurological damage.

Choice C rationale

Functional incontinence is typically caused by physical or mental impairments that prevent a person from reaching the toilet in time. It is not typically caused by neurological damage.

Choice D rationale

Stress incontinence is typically caused by physical changes such as childbirth or surgery, or by hormonal changes such as menopause. It is not typically caused by neurological damage.
