Practice Question
The nurse is identifying outcomes for a client with the nursing diagnosis of Stress Urinary Incontinence. Which outcome would be related to sphincter incompetence?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The client will stop the flow of urine when voiding.
Rationale:
✔Stress urinary incontinence stems from sphincter incompetence, leading to leakage during physical exertion.
✔The ability to stop urine flow mid-void (via Kegel exercises) directly strengthens the pelvic floor muscles and sphincter control.
✔This outcome is specific and measurable, unlike vague goals like “improve incontinence.”
✔It targets the root cause (weak sphincter) rather than general symptoms.
