rationale, strategy, reference, tip
answer options
1 obesity
2 sneezing
3 nulliparity
4 performing kegel exercises
5 voiding at frequent intervals

Explanation:

Obesity increases intra - abdominal pressure which can contribute to stress incontinence. Sneezing causes a sudden increase in abdominal pressure that may lead to involuntary urine leakage in stress incontinence. Nulliparity (never having given birth) is not a contributory factor as childbirth is often a risk factor for stress incontinence. Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles and help prevent rather than cause stress incontinence. Voiding at frequent intervals helps manage incontinence but does not contribute to it.

Answer:

1. Obesity
2. Sneezing
