The topic for unit 8 is the management of incontinence and constipation in the geriatric client. Despite what you may think, urinary incontinence is not a normal part of aging. However, as a society we think it is since it is a common complaint. Identifying the exact cause for the incontinence maybe difficult since medications and changes in cognitive function could be a contributing factor (Spencer, McManus, Sabourin, 2017). As nurse practitioners, what can we do to improve quality of life for individuals who suffer these complaints?
