II. Procedure
The procedure adopted in previous years has
been largely adhered to at each clinic, namely:-
(a) Urinalysis with special attention to specific gravity.
(b) History of Enuresis and of previous illnesses.
(c) Physical Examination.
(d) Treatment.
Considerable time is devoted to explaining
the treatment to be used, to talking to and gaining the
confidence of the child and finally advice is given to
the parent, by means of concise and simple explanation.
and direction to the child, as to routine and
charting and finally the taking of medicaments if
indicated.
It has been proved again and again how
valuable is the time spent in making suggestions to
the child, thus ensuring that his interest is held, and
that the suggestions are therefore acted upon more
faithfully by the parents. Factors such as housing
difficulties, overcrowding and emotional instability
in either parents or child must of course be met from
time to time.
