Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urinary incontinence is abnormal and could indicate a potential issue with urinary function, which the healthcare provider should be made aware of to assess and address any underlying problems. Urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia are common in older adults and may not necessarily warrant immediate reporting to the healthcare provider.
