A nurse is caring for a child who is receiving conditioning therapy for enuresis.Which of the following statements by the child’s parent indicates the treatment is effective?

The correct answer is C. “My child went to the bathroom two times when the alarm went off last night.”.Choice A rationaleHolding urine for extended periods may indicate urinary retention, which is not the desired outcome of treatment for enuresis. The goal of enuresis treatment is to help the child develop better bladder control and responsiveness to the need to urinate.Choice B rationaleKegel exercises primarily target pelvic floor muscles and may not directly address the underlying causes of enuresis. While Kegel exercises can be beneficial for strengthening pelvic muscles, they are not typically the primary focus of conditioning therapy for enuresis.Choice C rationaleWaking to urinate in response to the alarm indicates improved bladder control and responsiveness to conditioning therapy for enuresis. This statement suggests that the child is becoming more aware of the need to urinate and is responding appropriately to the alarm, which is a positive sign of treatment effectiveness.Choice D rationaleDrinking less may not necessarily indicate treatment effectiveness and could lead to dehydration. It is important for children to maintain adequate hydration, and reducing fluid intake is not a recommended strategy for managing enuresis.
