The scenario described is an example of functional incontinence, which occurs when a person has control over their bladder but cannot get to the restroom due to a physical, cognitive, or situational impairment. In this case, the delayed response to the call light caused the resident to not make it to the bathroom in time, resulting in accidental leakage of urine.
