Observe & Ask Questions
If the doctor has prescribed diuretics, discuss with them when they should be administered. Make sure they help the condition for which they are indicated – but also do not increase incontinence episodes, especially at night.
If the person you are caring for can’t or won’t communicate with you, observe behaviors that indicate urination is about to happen.
When in unfamiliar surroundings, scout out the nearest available toilet. To help, print out the National Public Toilet Map.
