The daughter of an elderly confused patient reports that her parent is having
urinary incontinence several times each day. What will the provider do initially?
a. Obtain a urine sample for urinalysis (UA) and possible culture
b. Order serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen tests
c. Perform a bladder scan to determine distention and retention
d. Tell the daughter that this is expected given her mother's age and confusion - -
ANSWER--ANS: A
When incontinence occurs, UA is performed initially to exclude hematuria, pyuria,
glucosuria, or proteinuria and possible infection. Serum creatinine and BUN may
be performed if renal disease is suspected. Bladder scans may be performed if the
UA is normal to evaluate physiologic causes. It is not correct to offer reassurance
without ruling out other causes.
The provider is evaluating a patient for potential causes of urinary incontinence
and performs a postvoid residual (PVR) test which yields 30 mL of urine. What is

b. Refer for a biopsy

ng/mL. What does this value indicate?
