Interventions
Monitoring: This involves asking the incontinent individual, at regular intervals, if he or she needs to use the toilet. The care provider may look for behaviours that the client needs to be toileted (e.g., restlessness, agitation, disrobing), and take the client to the toilet at regular intervals specific to their schedule, rather than routinely every two hours. Prompting: This process includes prompting the person to use the toilet at regular intervals, and encourages the maintenance of bladder control between prompted voiding sessions. Praising: This important step is the positive reinforcement of dryness and appropriate toileting, and is the response from the care provider to the individual's success with maintaining bladder control.
