Which intervention should the nurse suggest to reduce the frequency of this occurrence?
a. Set your alarm clock to wake you every 2 hours, so you can get up to void. b. Line your bedding with plastic sheets to protect your mattress. c.

Nightly incontinence and nocturia are often resolved by limiting fluid intake 2 hours before bedtime. Setting the alarm clock to wake does not correct the physiological problem, nor does lining the bedding with plastic sheets. Emptying the bladder may help with early nighttime urination but will not affect urine produced throughout the night from late-night fluid intake. |
