How often should an incontinent resident be checked and offered toileting?
- A.Only when the resident smells of urine
- B.Once per shift
- C.Only at bedtime
- D.On a regular schedule, often at least every two hours and after meals
Correct answer
D. On a regular schedule, often at least every two hours and after meals
Why
Regular checks and a toileting schedule keep skin drier and can reduce incontinence episodes. Waiting for odor means the resident has already been wet for some time.
