Modules - Incontinence Management
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF HOURS DURING WHICH STAFF PROVIDE PROMPTED VOIDING.
Ideally, incontinent residents should be offered prompted voiding every two hours between 7 am and 7 pm. Realistically? Between 8 am to 4 pm will do. With this schedule, residents will receive toileting assistance four times a day, enough to stay dry for that period. They are also more likely to receive the assistance they need because nursing homes are typically better staffed during the day shift than the evening and graveyard shifts.
