What is a urinary bag used for?

  1. Collecting semen

  2. Collecting blood

  3. Collecting urine

  4. Storage of medication

The correct answer is: Collecting urine

A urinary bag is specifically designed to collect urine, which makes it essential for individuals who are unable to use the toilet independently. These bags help in managing urinary output, providing a hygienic way to collect and hold urine until it can be safely disposed of. The design of a urinary bag typically includes features that allow it to be attached securely to the body and is often equipped with a valve or mechanism for easy emptying, ensuring cleanliness and comfort for the user. This function is distinctly different from the other options listed, which pertain to entirely separate medical uses.
