Nursing for Continence / Edition 2

by Christine Norton

Overview

Written for nurses and all other health-care professionals who come into contact with incontinent people, each chapter in this edition has been fully revised and reworked by a specialist nurse. The emphasis is on individual and patient-centred delivery of care, using research evidence throughout. The message is a positive one:

the nurse can promote continence for the full range of patients - from the bedwetting child to the confused patient in community or hospital care, from the young mother with stress incontinence to the older man with post-prostatectomy dribbling. No patient may be dismissed as inevitably incontinent until fully assessed and investigated.
