Further data must be gathered before the diagnosis of enuresis is made.Enuresis is the inappropriate voiding of urine at least twice a week.This child does meet the age criterion,but the parents need to be questioned about and keep a diary on the frequency of events.If the bedwetting is infrequent,parents can be encouraged that the child may grow out of this behavior.Drug therapy will not be prescribed until a more complete evaluation is done.Additional assessment information must be gathered,but at this time,there is no indication of renal disease.
