A. I probably have problems with incontinence due to exposure to some bacteria while packaging candy on the line." While exposure to bacteria can lead to urinary tract infections, which might contribute to incontinence, this statement might not directly correlate to incontinence caused by job-related factors. It could be a contributing factor but might not solely explain work-related incontinence.

B. Limited or infrequent bathroom breaks can lead to urinary urgency and incontinence, especially for individuals who already have underlying risk factors.Strict monitoring of breaks can create anxiety and further contribute to the urgency and potential loss of bladder controL.

C."I probably have problems with incontinence because the water at work is disgusting and I don't drink enough. “Dehydration: Inadequate fluid intake can contribute to urinary problems, but the client specifically mentions a strict break policy, suggesting limited opportunities for toileting, which is a more direct contributing factor.

D."I probably have problems with incontinence because I am constantly exposed to pesticides at work." Exposure to pesticides might lead to various health issues, but it's less directly associated with urinary incontinence unless there's evidence suggesting a specific impact on bladder function.

A. Chronic nephropathies that lead to fibrosis and destruction of normal kidney structure and function B. Obstruction leading to the filtration system backing up and eventually shutting the kidneys down C. Reduction of blood flow to the kidneys D.
