- Summary
- "Incontinence can happen to anyone at any age and is not an inevitable part of aging, nor is it untreatable once it develops. Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition of a trusted resource teaches diverse and effective strategies for assessing, managing, and even eliminating urinary incontinence in all care settings." "With the knowledge in this thorough guidebook, nursing staff will measurably improve the health and independence of residents or patients, and managers will reduce facility costs and staff burden. This book is a must-have for nurses, medical directors and nursing home administrators, incontinence specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, direct care staff, primary care physicians, social workers, and other health care professionals working with people at risk for urinary incontinence."--BOOK JACKET.
