D
Feedback:
During the training, the nurse plans a trial schedule for voiding that correlates with the time when the client is usually incontinent so as to reduce the potential for accidental voiding or sustained urinary retention. Compiling a log of the client's urinary elimination pattern helps reveal the client's type of incontinence. Setting realistic, specific, short-term goals for the client prevents self-defeating consequences. Discouraging strict limitation of fluid intake ensures adequate urine volume.
