Question 1 of 5

The daughter of a 79-year-old woman notes that her mother, who has dementia and lives with her, is wetting herself when she attends her new day program. Program staff have requested that �something be done� as she is requiring a clothes change nearly every time she is there. She cannot describe the circumstances of leakage, saying �it just comes.� Leakage is uncommon at home. Her medications include donepezil and acetaminophen. Physical examination is normal. Initial treatment approach will require intervention by which of the following?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Given the complexity of dementia and incontinence, the physician should be involved in assessing the cause and recommending treatment.
