The patient is a 72-year-old woman who reports new-onset incontinence. She reports three or four episodes of voiding a large amount of urine involuntarily when outside her home. She sensed a full bladder but was unable to find a bathroom quickly. She states,” When I have to go, I really have to go right then.” She does not use a diuretic and has no history of diabetes. She says she tries to drink very little, especially when she is “out and about” so that she will remain dry. Her only health problem is osteoporosis; she takes vitamin D and calcium supplements. She states that both of her sisters have the same urinary problem.
this is a case study that is given to me as homework but im stuck. right now i have to determine if the client has overflow incont- or urge incont-... i can't seem to differentiate them... i was thinking that the client in this case study has overflow incontinence which basically is incont- due to a decrease in sphincter control. so if the client has a full bladder, it would just come out. but then there is also urge incont- where the client only gets a warning of a few seconds to few minutes to go.. which is the best answer?

How do i clean my bed and pillow allergy covers?
I've done my homework on dustmite allergies but i still cant figure out how and when to clean my allergy covers. I bought some from walmart 2 months ago.
Moreover, Ii washed them like I wash clothing but they began to thin and rip. How do you clean them and can anyone recommend allergy covers?
What about an allergy proof mattress?
Thank You.
