Webinar: Urinary and Fecal Incontinence: Patient Care and Treatment

Learn about the challenging problems that incontinence poses for patients and caregivers. Both urinary and fecal incontinence can lead to skin breakdown, infection and complications. From a simple “diaper rash” to complex skin infections – or even falls – incontinence can be the root cause.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the difference between incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) and pressure ulcers (PU)
  • Describe the effect of excessive moisture on skin integrity
  • List three types of urinary incontinence and describe one possible intervention for each cause
