Which of the following is an important consideration when the nurse is discussing enuresis with the parents of a young child?


A. Enuresis is more common in girls than boys.

B. Enuresis is neither inherited nor has a familial tendency.

C. Psychogenic factors that cause enuresis persist into adulthood.

D. The child should be encouraged to take charge of treatment interventions.



Answer: D. Because any treatment involves and requires the child's active participation, the child is in charge of the interventions, and the parents should learn to support the child rather than intervene. Enuresis is more common in boys than in girls, and it has a strong family tendency. Psychogenic factors may influence enuresis, but it is doubtful that they are causative.
