Because incontinence is one of the most common problems encountered in the home care setting, home care agencies are beginning to recognize the importance of having a continence care program, and the need for advance practice nurses (APNs) to assume roles as continence care nurses (CCNs) is increasing. Through a comprehensive continence care program, incontinence is curable and easy to treat. This article describes the role of the APN as a CCN, and provides a description of the assessment and therapeutic management of the various types of urinary incontinence, focusing on the elderly patient in the home care setting.
由于失禁是家庭护理环境中最常见的问题之一，家庭护理机构开始认识到拥有一项失禁护理计划的重要性，并且对高级执业护士（APN）担任失禁护理护士（CCN）角色的需求也在增加。通过全面的失禁护理计划，失禁是可治愈且易于治疗的。本文描述了APN作为CCN的角色，并介绍了各种类型尿失禁的评估和治疗管理，重点关注家庭护理环境中的老年患者。
