What is included in the term "incontinent care"?

  1. Monitoring blood pressure

  2. Providing a disposable brief

  3. Feeding assistance

  4. Bathing the client

The correct answer is: Providing a disposable brief

The term "incontinent care" specifically refers to the support and assistance provided to individuals who are unable to control their bladder or bowel functions. One of the primary components of this care involves maintaining hygiene and comfort for the individual. Providing a disposable brief is a crucial aspect of incontinent care, as it helps to contain any accidents and prevent skin irritation or infections that can occur due to prolonged exposure to moisture. In contrast, monitoring blood pressure, feeding assistance, and bathing the client do not directly relate to the specific needs associated with incontinence. These tasks may be part of a broader care routine but do not address the immediate challenges faced by someone requiring incontinent care.
