The child with a surgically repaired myelomeningocele has a neurogenic bladder. How will the nurse best explain this problem to the parents?
a) "Old urine remains in the bladder because of poor emptying or overfilling, putting your child at risk for urinary tract infection."
b) "Your child dribbles urine because the bladder either is overactive, pushing urine out, or is not active enough, becoming overfilled and causing urine to leak."
c) "While your child is young, urine leaking from the bladder will not be a problem because diapering is expected."
d) "Your child cannot properly control holding urine or emptying the bladder. "
Answer: a)"Old urine remains in the bladder because of poor emptying or overfilling, putting your child at risk for urinary tract infection."
