    A nurse is implementing a bladder retraining program for a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Assisting the client to the bathroom every 2 hours may not support bladder retraining, which aims to increase the time between voids and encourage the client to recognize the need to urinate. B. Encouraging the client to hold her urine when feeling the urge is a key component of bladder retraining, as it helps to increase bladder capacity and promotes a normal voiding pattern. C. Restricting oral fluid intake is not recommended, as it can lead to dehydration and may not effectively aid in bladder retraining. Adequate fluid intake is essential for bladder health. D. Providing adult diapers does not promote bladder retraining; it may enable continued incontinence rather than encouraging the client to regain control over bladder function.
