Incontinence Teaching 270

Incontinence
Instructed patient about the collection devices which help when treatments to manage incontinence fail. There are many types: liners, drips collectors, condoms, pads, guards, undergarments, briefs and bed pads. Devices should be comfortable and discreet, and keep skin, clothes and furniture dry. Overpadding damages skin and reduces leakage awareness.
