Which statement by a patient with urinary incontinence shows correct understanding of bladder training?
Correct answer: B. I will follow a planned voiding schedule
- A. I will delay urination until severe pain occurs
- B. I will follow a planned voiding schedule
- C. I will reduce all fluids during the daytime
- D. I will remain in bed to prevent urine leakage
Explanation
Scheduled voiding helps establish a regular pattern and reduces episodes of urgency and leakage. Severe urgency, excessive fluid restriction, and immobility do not treat the underlying incontinence and may create additional problems.
