Primary outcomePrimary: Wet Events Per 24 Hours — 8.11; 5.75; 7.05; 5.45 events per 24 hours
Summary
The purpose of this study is to prospectively compare a standard of care manual toileting protocol (e.g., "check and change" strategy) to toileting patterns recorded by the TENA Identifi system in identifying incontinence patterns and events, and, whether such data differentially improve a care planning strategy, nursing effort, product use, and wet-time for urinary incontinence.
