Providing scheduled toileting can help the resident become aware of their bladder sensation and reduce episodes of urinary incontinence. Limiting fluid intake can lead to dehydration and other complications in the elderly population. Applying an absorbent undergarment does not address the underlying issue and can lead to skin breakdown. Encouraging frequent rest periods may be beneficial for overall health but does not directly address urinary incontinence.
