A client has functional urinary incontinence. Which instruction by the nurse to the client and family helps meet an expected outcome for this condition?
a. "You must clean around your catheter daily with soap and water."
b. "Wash the vaginal weights with a 10% bleach solution after each use."
c. "Operations to repair your bladder are available, and you can consider these."
d. "Buy slacks with elastic waistbands that are easy to pull down."

Functional urinary incontinence occurs as the result of problems not related to the client's blad-der, such as trouble ambulating or difficulty accessing the toilet. One goal is that the client will be able to manage his or her clothing independently. Elastic waistband slacks that are easy to pull down can help the client get on the toilet in time to void. The other instructions do not relate to functional urinary incontinence.
