she doesn’t always make it to the bathroom
on time. To control the problem, she’s tried restricting
fluids, wearing incontinence pads, and practicing
preventive toileting (every hour), but these strategies
have been ineffective. She was so worried about
her urinary incontinence that she canceled an upcoming
trip involving air travel. Canceling the trip
made her realize that she needed to seek help. She
contacted a nurse specializing in continence care.
