What should not be included in a daily routine for a client with Alzheimer's to promote continence?

Limiting fluid intake late in the day is not an effective strategy for promoting continence in a client with Alzheimer's. This approach can lead to dehydration and may inadvertently increase the risk of urinary tract infections, which are common in individuals with cognitive impairments. Adequate hydration is crucial for overall health and can support bladder function.

Instead, maintaining a regular schedule for bathroom visits, providing assistance at appropriate intervals, and encouraging the client to express their needs help reinforce positive bathroom habits and promote dignity during care. Ensuring that the client stays hydrated while also managing their bathroom needs effectively supports both physical health and emotional well-being, which is particularly important in advanced stages of Alzheimer's.
