Increasing a resident's bladder control is significant in reducing skin irritation and breakdown because proper bladder function decreases the likelihood of incontinence. When individuals experience incontinence, it can lead to prolonged exposure of the skin to moisture, which increases the risk of skin irritation, rashes, and even pressure ulcers. By enhancing bladder control, residents can maintain drier skin and reduce the potential for these complications, ultimately promoting healthier skin integrity and overall well-being. This focus on skin health is essential in caregiving, particularly for those at higher risk of skin problems.
