Management of nocturnal enuresis.
Heath care providers can assist the children and families who struggle with the problem of nocturnal enuresis in various ways. The children and their families need to receive adequate and appropriate information to assist with the psychosocial, emotional, and developmental issues involved. They also need to receive an adequate physical evaluation to diagnose or rule out diseases or conditions that can cause bedwetting. By taking on these tasks, advanced practice nurses can thoroughly and safely manage the care of the large population of children with nocturnal enuresis.
