Choose the Correct Answer

9. Why is it not a good idea to use creams or powders in conjunction with a continence product?

The cream or powder can react with urine and cause a rash.

The cream or powder can clog the pores of the continence product and prevent the urine from being absorbed.

It is actually fine to use creams or powders with continence products.

10. What type of underwear should be worn with a light pad? (This is for men and women.)

Tight fitting underwear to hold the pad close to the body.

Loose fitting underwear to prevent rash caused by continence products.

Light pad.

Pull-up.

All-in-one.

Shaped/Anatomical pad.

All of the above.

12. Can continence products cause allergic reactions?

Yes, absolutely.

No. Alleged allergic reactions are actually a nappie rash caused by improper application.

13. Which way do you fold a pad before putting on a resident?

Fold in half by putting front and back edges together. With the inside out.

Fold in half long ways with the outside in. This allows urine to flow away from the body.

Fold in half long ways with the inside in. This allow urine to be properly captured by the pad and not to overflow the sides. When urinary incontinence happens it's a rapid flow that will overwhelm an improperly placed pad.

14. Can a used continence product be put back on after toileting?

Yes, but with caveats. No faeces is present, the pad is no more than 75% full, and the pad has not been worn more than 12 hours.

Yes. There is no issues with reusing pads.

No. As soon as a continence product is removed it must be discarded.
