Final Answer :
A

Urine contains ammonia,which may cause excoriation with prolonged contact with the skin.Bowel incontinence,not urinary incontinence,increases the patient's risk for urinary tract infection.Immobility and high consumption of calcium-containing foods increase the risk for renal calculi.
