A patient asks about treatment for stress urinary incontinence. Which is the nurse's best response?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Perform pelvic floor exercises. Pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegel exercises, strengthen the muscles that support the bladder and help control urine leakage in stress urinary incontinence. This is the best response because it addresses the underlying issue of weak pelvic floor muscles. Wearing an adult diaper (A) only manages the symptoms but does not address the cause. Avoiding voiding frequently (B) may lead to bladder issues. Drinking cranberry juice (D) is more related to urinary tract infections, not stress urinary incontinence.
