What is the discharge of urine from the body known as?

Urinary elimination
Urinary bag
Unsteady
Urination

The correct answer is: Urination

The discharge of urine from the body is known as urination. This term specifically refers to the process of expelling urine through the urinary tract and out of the body. Understanding this term is crucial for CNAs as they need to monitor and assist patients with their urinary needs, ensuring proper hygiene and comfort. While "urinary elimination" is also related to the process of urine expulsion, it encompasses a broader concept that includes the physiological aspects of how the body eliminates waste products through urine. In contrast, "urination" is the more commonly used term in everyday language and focuses explicitly on the act itself. The other options do not accurately define the act of discharging urine. A "urinary bag" refers to a collection device for urine, typically used in patients with catheters, while "unsteady" does not pertain to the process of urine discharge at all, focusing instead on stability or balance, which is unrelated to urinary functions. Understanding these differences reinforces the clarity needed in medical terminology, especially in a CNA role.
