Cardiovascular disease. overweight and obesity. cancer (of the lung and bronchus, breast, and colon). Question 2 The nurse practitioner understands that an age-related anatomic change that can lead to urinary incontinence is: The shortening of the urethra The reduction in bladder capacity The increase in habitual preventative emptying of the bladder The decline in number of urethral striated muscle fibers The urethral striated muscle fiber is one of the anatomic structures that prevent urinary incontinence at the onset of abdominal pressure. The two anatomic structures that prevent urinary incontinence are; supportive system and sphincteric system. The urethral striated muscle fiber contributes to the closure of the vesical neck in the urethra to prevent incontinence. The urethral striated muscle fiber decreases as one age.
