Involuntary leakage of small volume of urine with activities that increase intrabdominal pressure The cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates

Pelvic muscle exercises, urinary incontinence care

Risk for impaired skin integrity RT incontinence

Weight loss, assistive devices, exercise, analgesics, physical therapy

Acute pain RT movement

Assess blood glucose level before meals and after bedtime. Monitor HbA1c-glycosylated hemoglobin. Assess for signs of hypoglycemia. Assess peripheral perfusion. Obtain specimen, monitor complications, clean the area, wound care, create a care plan

Ineffective health maintenance RT increased/decreased blood glucose

Hyperlipidemia

Stress Incontinence

Osteoarthritis (OA)
