A mother calls the triage nurse because her son continues to have enuresis at the age of 7. The best response by the nurse is:
1. "This can occur up to about the age of 12.".
2. "When your child exhibits enuresis, it is important to not be critical because it is usually not controllable.".
3. "When enuresis occurs, the child needs to be disciplined.".
4. "Enuresis occurs in boys and should not be a concern because he will grow out of it.".

Feedback
1. Every child is different, thus enuresis may stop sooner or later than the age of 12.
2. Enuresis is usually uncontrollable and should not be condemned.
3. Discipline during this time is not appropriate because the child has no control with enuresis.
4. Enuresis can happen in boys and girls.
