All health care disciplines have a role in skilled intervention to treat continence. This webinar provides an overview of anatomy and physiology of normal voiding as well as normal function related to continence.
Different types of incontinence are identified and assessment/treatment strategies are offered for each. This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to continence improvement and demonstrates roles of each team member.
Emphasis is placed on the role of nursing in completing an assessment of voiding, identifying triggers and bladder stimulants, voiding habits and patterns, and implementing individualized care approaches. Restorative and compensatory strategies for continence management are reviewed as well as the unique role of physical/occupational therapy in this program.
Documentation and care planning related to behavioral aspects of continence improvement are reviewed.
