A mother states to the nurse in her primary care provider's office that she is frustrated regarding her 7-year-old son's nightly enuresis for the past 3 years. She says she has limited his evening fluids, eliminated all caffeine and soft drinks from his diet, and has had him wash his own sheets, but he still wets the bed almost every night. Her husband has told her he was a bed wetter as a child. He thinks the son will “get over it.” The mother is worried that it could negatively affect the son's peer relationships as he grows older. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?


1. Tell the mother her husband is correct and she should be patient since her husband's enuresis stopped without intervention.


2. Suggest asking the primary care provider about medication treatment to deal with the enuresis.


3. Discuss a behavioral treatment plan for the child focusing on the improvement of his social skills.


4. Suggest the mother ask the primary care provider about hospitalization for a complete renal workup since the enuresis has gone on a long time.
