Practice Question
What is the name of a pelvic floor exercise you can instruct your patient to do to help with incontinence?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Kegel exercises
Rationale:
🔵 Kegel exercises involve repetitive contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
🔵 They strengthen the urethral sphincter and pelvic muscles, improving bladder control and reducing episodes of stress and urge incontinence.
🔵 These exercises can be done discreetly, anywhere, and are effective for both men and women with urinary incontinence.
🔵 Bicep curls, abdominal crunches, and squats strengthen other muscle groups but do not directly target pelvic floor muscles.
🔵 Teaching clients Kegel exercises is a first-line, noninvasive intervention for managing incontinence.
