A nurse is caring for a child who is receiving conditioning therapy for enuresis. Which of the following statements by the child's parent indicate the treatment is effective?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C. This statement indicates that the child is responding to the conditioning therapy for enuresis by waking up and going to the bathroom when the alarm goes off, which is a positive sign of behavioral conditioning. This response shows that the child is becoming more aware of their bladder fullness and is able to respond to the alarm by voiding. The other choices are incorrect because: A) Holding urine for 15 minutes before going to the bathroom is not necessarily indicative of improvement in enuresis treatment. B) Drinking less may not be a positive sign and could lead to dehydration. D) Kegel exercises are not typically used for enuresis treatment in children.
