ATI RN Paediatrics Nursing Proctored Exam 2023
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?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Conditioning therapy for enuresis typically involves a bedwetting alarm that sounds when the child begins to urinate. The goal is for the child to wake and respond to the alarm by going to the bathroom, gradually developing bladder control during sleep. Reporting that the child responded to the alarm and went to the bathroom indicates the therapy is effective. B. Drinking less fluid is not a recommended strategy for managing enuresis and can lead to dehydration. C. Kegel exercises can help with pelvic muscle strength but are not the primary method of conditioning therapy for enuresis. D. Delaying urination voluntarily is not related to the conditioning therapy, which focuses on nighttime awakening in response to bladder filling.
