The goal is to increase a client's awareness of the need to void and, it is hoped, to increase the frequency of self-initiated toileting. Clients are approached on a regular schedule, asked if they are wet or dry, and then prompted to toilet. A client should never be forced to toilet or reprimanded for failing to toilet appropriately. Self-initiated toileting should not be discouraged. To relieve the stress that can occur due to sleep disruption for both caregiver and client, toileting protocols can be modified during the nighttime hours.
