ENURESIS

Course overview

Enuresis—most commonly called bedwetting, although enuresis may occur while awake—is the involuntary voiding of urine by individuals older than the age at which bladder control is normally established (i.e., > 5 years of age). The emotional and psychological impact of enuresis on both child and family can be considerable. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of enuresis, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
