Bladder management for adults following head injury

Urinary incontinence is a common issue in the treatment of adults with head injuries, but it is frequently neglected by healthcare professionals. Because the problem is treatable, early intervention is recommended. This article presents a systematic and comprehensive approach to bladder management. This management program includes three main interventions: fluid management, establishment of a micturition schedule, and use of a behavioral approach based on positive reinforcement. These interventions can be used independently or simultaneously, depending on the nursing assessment.
