In this training module, we present instructions and protocols for accomplishing each of the four steps required to implement an effective prompted voiding program. The module starts with a list of learning objectives, followed by an overview of prompted voiding.

Next, we present the four implementation steps:
  1. Conduct a basic resident evaluation
  2. Assess resident responsiveness to prompted voiding
  3. Implement time-saving strategies to maintain prompted voiding programs
  4. Conduct periodic control checks to help ensure incontinence care quality
