| Annotation | At least 50% of nursing home residents in the UK and North America suffer from urinary incontinence, which is associated with resident and staff morbidity. The measurement and management of such residents will depend on the capacity of the care staff and the capability of the resident. The minimum data set (MDS) and resident assessment protocol (RAP) may have a role in the assessment of incontinent residents. This literature review suggests that behavioural strategies are more likely to be beneficial than drug treatment. (RH). |
