    Author: Thompson DL.
    Journal: Urol Nurs; 2004 Aug; 24(4):305-13, 356; quiz 314. PubMed ID: 15446379.
    Abstract:
    Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common but challenging problem in the long-term care environment plagued by rising costs, limited resources, and high rates of staff turnover. Successful management of incontinence in the nursing home is possible but it requires a comprehensive evaluation of the resident and a formalized plan of care that is individualized to the resident's unique needs.
