Cognitive disturbances—dementia, Parkinson disease
Recent pregnancy/vaginal surgery
Diabetes
Genitourinary surgery
High-impact exercise
Immobility

Medications—diuretic, sedative, hypnotic, and opioid agents
Monitor the elderly - Due to decreased GFR
How often should you encourage your patient with urinary incontinence to void?
