Module 7: Discussion
A nurse practitioner (NP) is talking with a 70-year-old
patient who asks if she could discuss a problem that she is embarrassed to talk
about with her physician. She states she has been having increasing problems
with incontinence. Every time she coughs or sneezes, she notices a loss of
urine. She has not had any fever or chills or pain with urination. She asks the
NP if this is just a sign of getting older?
1. Discuss the etiology associated with incontinence in the
aging adult.
