A substantial proportion of nursing home residents respond well to prompted voiding and the most responsive residents can be easily identified using data collected during a 3-day trial of the intervention.
Abstract
A substantial proportion of nursing home residents respond well to prompted voiding. The most responsive residents can be easily identified using data collected during a 3-day trial of the intervention. The assessment strategy is consistent with federal guidelines and could be used to facilitate quality control by assessing changes in percentage of wetness from the expected norm.

It is concluded that the pathophysiology of incontinence in this population is complex; that detrusor hyperreflexia with normal contractility ("uninhibited bladder") accounts for the minority of cases, even among patients with dementia; and that the causes ofincontinence are as diverse in severely impaired elderly persons as in those who are unimpaired.
