1Kessler Institute of Rehabilitation, East Facility, East Orange, NJ.
Abstract:
Voiding dysfunctions affect a large number of patients in the rehabilitation setting. Following an assessment of the patient in which a diagnosis is established, an array of non pharmacologic treatment options need to be considered. Behavioral as well as supportive techniques may be used in various combinations to individualize a successful program for the patient. This article reviews each technique including indications and special considerations in order to assist in developing a plan for managing urinary dysfunction from a nursing perspective.
