YOUR ASSIGNMENT Find out how often incontinent residents in your facility receive incontinence care. Ask between five and ten incontinent residents how often they were checked and changed that day or received help to the toilet from staff. Be sure to interview some residents with moderate to severe cognitive impairments. (We have found that cognitively impaired residents usually give reliable reports of their daily care.) Were the residents you interviewed on schedule to receive toileting assistance three to four times during the day, the amount needed for them to stay dry? Please contact us to share your findings. We'll report your feedback in updates to this site. Click here to view the references. Click here to go on to Step 1, "Conduct a Basic Resident Assessment." (prev | next)
