Deviations from normal bowel and bladder toileting can lead to chastisement, ostracism, and social withdrawal. By addressing incontinency issues prior to social interactions, such negative responses can be minimized. While toileting is appropriate, it does not directly address the social impact that may result from soiled and/or odorous clothing. Providing peri-care and clean underclothing is necessary only if incontinency has occurred. Asking to toilet the client is not necessarily an effective intervention when the client is consistently incontinent.
