    ** double voiding
68
Q

all about fecal incontinence (3 types)

A

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

Q

bladder training: prompted voiding

A

ask elders if they need to void every 2 hours

73
Q

bladder training: bladder training exercises

74
Q

beyond kegels: nocturia

one good suggestion is to complete double voiding prior to falling asleep

75
Q

beyond kegels: physiologic quietening

A

using relaxation techniques, breathing techniques

76
Q

beyond kegels: keep a bladder diary

A

look for trends

77
Q

beyond kegels: avoid bladder irritants

A

coffee, caffeine

78
Q

beyond kegels: keep urine diluted

A

drink frequently throughout the day, limit liquids after 7pm

  • have client do exercises in different positions: standing, sitting, lying down
80
Q

incontinence: use of breathing techniques

A
  • 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
Q

incontinence: environmental adaptations

A
  • provide grab bars
  • encourage functional independence in all environments
