63
stress incontinence
loss of urine when coughing, laughing, sneezing, exercising, or lifting
64

65

67
all about urinary retention
- issue in men or women
- the bladder does not completely empty, so the person always feels they need to urinate
- significantly increases the incidence of UTIs
** double voiding
68
all about fecal incontinence (3 types)
results from problems with GI tract and colon
- diarrhea: frequent passage of loose, watery stools
- constipation: infrequent, hard, dry stools
- bowel obstruction: hard, lodged stool that creates actual obstruction to defecation; can cause temporary diarrhea, but then nausea and vomiting as it progresses
69
incontinence: interdisciplinary team strategies
- promote comfort with elders discussing their bowel and bladder habits
- involve the collaboration of other health care providers to determine the cause and options for treatment of incontinence
- begins with medical history and lab tests
- surgical repair is possible for men and women with less than 100% success
- medications can often help or revision of medication regimen helps
70
bladder training: timed voiding and habit training
elders void on fixed schedule, usually every 2 hours
71
bladder training: double voiding for nocturia
urinate, lay down for 30 mins, and then urinate again
72
bladder training: prompted voiding
ask elders if they need to void every 2 hours
73
bladder training: bladder training exercises
- kegel exercises: not always effective for post menopausal women
- can be difficult to assess whether contractions are being completed accurately
74
beyond kegels: nocturia
one good suggestion is to complete double voiding prior to falling asleep
75
beyond kegels: physiologic quietening
using relaxation techniques, breathing techniques
76
beyond kegels: keep a bladder diary
look for trends
77
beyond kegels: avoid bladder irritants
coffee, caffeine
78
beyond kegels: keep urine diluted
drink frequently throughout the day, limit liquids after 7pm

80
incontinence: use of breathing techniques
- assists with physiologic quietening to decrease irritable bladder
- allows client to breathe through the height of the urge cycle (and bladder contraction)
- trains and utilizes the pelvic/ diaphragm piston action
81
incontinence: environmental adaptations
- provide grab bars
- encourage functional independence in all environments
- avoid restraints
- clear the path to the bathroom
- always leave the client with the call light so they may call for assistance
