Description

During this session, Susann Varano, MD, will identify the most common urinary issues encountered in the older adult and review the latest recommendations presented at the May 2024 American Urological Association meeting. Once we have properly diagnosed the urinary issue, we will comprehensively evaluate the patient to prescribe a non-pharmacological or pharmacologic treatment plan. We will discuss risk factors in the older adult for urinary incontinence. You will conclude the training with ways to overcome environmental barriers to incontinence management in dementia patients. Leave with new tools and insights to aid in the diagnosis and management of urinary issues in the older adult.
