A Graduate Nursing Curriculum for the Evaluation and Management of Urinary Incontinence
Rogalski, Nicole
Educational Gerontology, v31 n2 p139-159 Feb 2005
Geriatric nurse practitioners should be educated in the evaluation and treatment of common geriatric syndromes like urinary incontinence. However, many advanced-practice nursing programs do not place an educational emphasis on urinary incontinence management. The purpose of this project is to provide information that supports the need for geriatric-nurse practitioners to evaluate and manage urinary symptoms in clinical practice. One step in addressing this lack of knowledge is to design a curriculum model (not currently available) based on current clinical guidelines, other partial curriculum models, and clinical research. With this education, geriatric-nurse practitioners will be able to provide competent care for the patient with urinary symptoms, while increasing the accessibility and quality of continence care.
