Our clinical experience indicates that voiding dysfunction is common in geriatric patients with hip fracture. Therefore, we conducted a prevalence survey and found that voiding dysfunction occurred in 47% of these patients, indicating a significant clinical problem. This article describes the survey and outlines tentative nursing actions that are aimed at reducing voiding problems in this patient population. We are currently designing an explicit nursing protocol that will be tested in a prospective study involving geriatric hip-fracture patients.
