Factors that increase the risk of incontinence are gender; women are more likely to have incontinence due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and normal anatomy of the female body. Men with prostate problems can have incontinence issues as well. Age, as we get older, the muscles of the bladder become weaker and the amount of urine the bladder can hold decreases.

When I started my placement , Mrs . X who was suffering from Parkinsonism and dementia was on Indwelling urinary catheter for the management of urinary incontinence. Adhering to the results from the literature review I planned for initiating several steps to control incontinence in Mrs. X. My mentor was always with me with full support and guidelines. Fluid management was the first step started. An input output chart was kept and well maintained. Then steps wre also taken to manage constipation. Exercises were the last method practiced and the final result was really appreciable as she got a great reduction in the incontinence rate.

First, neurological disorders can occur, as seen with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, which can lead to neurogenic bladder (“Neurology/Neurogenic Bladder,” 2017). Next, physiological disorders can occur as seen with enlarged prostate in men or shortening of the urethra in women (Jaipaul, 2017). Anticipating the above changes appropriately will aid in understanding what leads to urinary retention in older adults, the resulting need of catheterizations, and the CAUTIs that can follow. Having a foundation to build on, it would be beneficial to explore what nurses can do prevent urinary tract infections in patients who require catheterization.

General strategies for the prevention of CAUTI include measures such as hand hygiene and adherence. Strategies used for the prevention of CAUTI include using an aseptic technique for catheter insertion, limiting the duration of urinary catheters, and following standard infection control precautions for catheter care. Successful achievement implementation of these measures will result in a decrease of CAUTI 's (Bennett, 2014).

Humans are supposed to to to the bathroom four to six times a day. The pressures of life force us to clench and hold it in. Two kidneys, two europhras, a bladder, two ureters, and a urethra make up the urinary system. Urine comes from the kidneys by mixing water and other wastes. Then they go to the ureters and into the bladder. The bladder inflates like a balloon when full. The sphincter opens up when the bladder is full and the urine goes to the external urethral sphincter. You are able to control the opening and closing of that area and that is how you hold your pee. It will weaken or overwork your muscular slang which could lead to bad side

This study focuses on whether the use of reminders assists in decreasing the use of urinary cathethers and the occuruence of catheter associated urinary infections. UTI risk increases by 5 percent with the use of indwelling catheters. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that patients receive catheters if indicated but over 41% of physicians have ignored this and nursing staff have ignored evaluating when the catheter should be removed. Besides noncompliance with the CDC, this study shows for patients who have catheters, the reminder system will help to decrease the length of indwelling cathethers are potential UTI infection associated with it. In previous studies, their has been different views as to whether

During my time spent at the long-term care center for clinical, I noticed majority of the residents were incontinent and put in briefs. Many of which were coherent and still oriented. The CNA’s and nurses at the facility didn’t believe there was any sort of bladder training system set in place for any of these people to help regain their continence. Bladder training is defined as an important form of behavior therapy that can be effective in treating urinary incontinence. The goals are to increase the amount of time between emptying the bladder and the amount of fluids the bladder can hold according to UCSF Medical Center. My question to research was in nursing home residents without cognitive deficits how does bladder training compared to no bladder training effect regaining continence?

According to the American Animal Hospital Association, Treatment options for USMI include medications, such as adrenergic agents and estrogen products, minimally-invasive urethral bulking procedures, surgical procedures, or combination therapy. For hormone-responsive incontinence, two different medication options can be given. Replacement hormone medication, such as Diethylstilbestrol (DES) for females and testosterone injections for males are used to control this incontinence problem. Also, certain medications may be given to increase the tone and strengthen the urethral sphincter. Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) is a common drug prescribed for aging dogs experiencing this issue. Although this is a treatable condition, it is not always possible to prevent urinary incontinence and it is generally only preventable to the extent that its causes are
