NURS-2255 Urinary Disorders Case Study

The patient is a 72-year-old woman who reports loss of a large volume of urine just as she enters the bathroom both at home and away from home. The problem started only recently and occurred about four times during the past week. She is an active church volunteer, lives independently with her husband, and recently passes a safe driving course to assure herself that she is still safe to drive around town. The patient wants to continue to participate in her active lifestyle and wants to discuss options for preventing managing this embarrassing condition.
