Functional incontinence occurs when a person has control over their bladder but cannot get to the bathroom in time due to physical or cognitive impairments, such as mobility issues or confusion. In this case, the resident's signal light not being answered promptly resulted in her being unable to reach the toilet in time, despite having control of her bladder. This is therefore an example of functional incontinence.
