The interdisciplinary team plays a significant role in bladder and bowel management promoting open communication and monitoring the outcome of the program. Continence management includes assessment for incontinence, the promotion of continence, the proper use of continence-care products, appropriate toileting routines, and the evaluation of each resident’s care plan to ensure the continence program is being managed effectively.
