URINARY INCONTINENCE IN THE ADULT

Course overview

Urinary incontinence (UI) has long been a problem for many adults, but they are just beginning to overcome the stigma and come forward to seek treatment. Medical practitioners are also at times reluctant to discuss UI with their clients. This course reviews the latest in behavioral, pharmacological, and surgical approaches to incontinence management, so you can address the problem proactively during routine care and help your patients to choose the treatment that is right for them. Course objectives include: * Outline the physiology of the voiding process. * List the tests and supplemental assessments necessary to evaluate the client for UI. * Recognize effective strategies to reduce patients' emotional barriers to UI treatment.
