A client reports an episode of losing control of urination when a bathroom wasn’t close by. The client states, "I’m worried this means that I’m starting to lose control of my bladder." What is the appropriate nursing response?

Answer:

By the source: "Let's review your medication history and whether you consume bladder irritants."

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the common bladder irritants are:

Caffeine ( it is a known diuretic and consuming too much of it can make a person lose control over their bladder ) As well as any kind of soda, as they include a lot of caffeine. Diet pills that are full of caffeine as well, as they have a role to block your appetite and provide alertness and energy at the same time. Acidic or citrus foods -- orange, lemons, limes, grapefruit, apples, cranberries, etc. Spicy foods, like chillies, peppers, onion, garlic, etc. Very spiced food and very sweet food. Those are only a few bladder irritants.
