Question 1 of 5

A nurse in a long-term care facility is caring for an older adult client who has dementia and begins to have frequent episodes of urinary incontinence. After the provider determines no medical cause for the client's incontinence,which of the following interventions should the nurse initiate?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Take the client to the bathroom every 2 hr. This intervention is appropriate for managing urinary incontinence in older adults with dementia as it helps maintain continence by establishing a regular toileting schedule. Taking the client to the bathroom at regular intervals helps prevent accidents and promotes bladder emptying. This approach also helps the client maintain a sense of routine and familiarity, which can be comforting for individuals with dementia.

Incorrect answers:
A: Requesting a prescription for an indwelling urinary catheter is invasive and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary due to the risk of infection and other complications.
C: Reminding the client to tell the nurse when he has to urinate may not be effective as individuals with dementia may have difficulty recognizing or communicating their need to use the bathroom.
D: Using adult diapers may be a temporary solution but does not address the underlying issue of urinary incontinence and may lead to skin irritation or infections.
