Becoming incontinent is not an inevitable part of aging. The options for
handling incontinence are far more diverse and effective than many professionals today are aware. Now, arm yourself with all the available methods for successfully managing or even eliminating it, no matter what
your care setting.
In pragmatic, easy-to-understand language, Managing and Treating
Urinary Incontinence presents the full range of treatment options,
explaining how each method works and who benefits most from its use.
With this knowledge, nursing staff will measurably improve the health
and independence of residents or patients, and managers will reduce facility costs and staff burden.
This single, concise source provides the most essential information
you need for understanding:
• the types and causes of incontinence/overactive bladder
• the use and care of products available for collecting or absorbing urine or
feces
• the efficacy of behavioral treatments, such as bladder retraining
• the role of surgery and mechanical devices in managing incontinence
• the positive impact of incontinence education on both caregivers and care
recipients (teaching guides and record-keeping forms provided)
• the psychological, social, health, and economic implications
of poorly managed incontinence
