    Author: Bennett JK, Foote JE, King TL.
    Journal: J Med Assoc Ga; 1997 Apr; 86(2):97-100. PubMed ID: 9114654.
    Abstract:
    Health care professionals who choose to treat the elderly have a responsibility to be knowledgeable about incontinence. The elderly present challenging and complex problems that may require a collaborative approach from a dedicated team, to include family members, home health nurses, continence nurses, physical therapists, as well as primary care physicians, geriatricians, urologists, and gynecologists. The elderly patient should be reminded that they are a member of that team and their commitment and participation will facilitate successful outcomes.
