| Popis: | Urinary incontinence (UI) in the older adult is a multisystem health problem that has an impact on the lives of millions of older adults. Advanced practice nurses (APNs) specializing in gerontology, family, and adult practice are equipped educationally with the expertise to prevent, assess, and manage this health problem. The emerging emphasis on UI prevention will help guide the practice of APNs in the future. APNs will serve older adults well in prevention and management of UI by capitalizing on their roles as expert clinicians, researchers, consultants, educators, and collaborators with the interdisciplinary teams. |
