Passage / Scenario
A child with pediatric enuresis.Which cause of pediatric enuresis must be ruled out before psychological causes are investigated? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,F
Rationale
The correct answers are B and F. Urinary tract infection (UTI) and diabetes mellitus should be ruled out first before considering psychological causes of pediatric enuresis. UTI can cause frequent urination and urgency, mimicking enuresis. Diabetes mellitus can lead to increased urine production, resulting in bedwetting. It is crucial to rule out these medical conditions as they have direct physiological effects on the bladder and urinary system. Choices A, C, D, and E are more related to behavioral or psychological factors and should be considered after medical causes are ruled out.
