    A nurse in a rehabilitation care facility is caring for a 7 year old client who begins to have frequent episodes of urinary incontinence. After the provider determines no medical cause for the client's incontinence, which of the following interventions should the nurse initiate to manage this behavior?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Reminding the child to tell the nurse when they need to urinate is a helpful approach but may not be effective for managing urinary incontinence. B. Taking the child to the bathroom every 2 hours helps manage incontinence by establishing a regular routine and preventing accidents. C. An indwelling urinary catheter is not appropriate unless there is a medical need and is not used as a first-line intervention for behavioral incontinence. D. Using diapers may provide short-term management, but it does not address the underlying behavior and could reinforce incontinence.
