develops unexpectedly and lasts for 6 months or less.
Mixed incontinence.

Functional incontinence.
caused by causes beyond the urinary tract.
Reflex Incontinence.
bladder emptying without feeling the need to urinate.
,Total incontinence.

*Wear underwear with a cotton crotch
How to assist a patient with urine while lying flat
Urinal, bedpan, commode, fracture pan.
Adverse effects of incontinence products.
Incontinence-associated dermatitis, moisture-associated skin damage
(MASD)...excessive moisture, changes in skin pH, bacterial overgrowth and
infection, and erosion of perineal skin from friction on moist skin. Avoid cleaning
with soap or using too much power.
Assessment findings on newborn diapers
Diaper wetness: how many wet diapers and how often?
, Effect of some drugs on urine: anticoagulants.
Hematuria (blood in the urine) results in a pink or red tint.
Effect of some drugs on urine: diuretics.
Lighten the colour of urine to a pale yellow.
Effect of various drugs on urine: Phenazopyridine.
A urinary tract analgesic may induce orange or orange-red urine.
Some drugs affect urine, such as the antidepressant amitriptyline and B-complex
vitamins.
Turn the urine green or blue-green.
Levodopa (L-dopa) affects urine.
Brown or black urine may be caused by an antiparkinson medication or injectable
iron complexes.
Documenting urine production (240 mL in 8 hours)
