LMSW Practice Test

A diagnosis of enuresis is appropriate when the condition occurs at least twice weekly and the patient is at least how old?

1. Chronologically or mentally five years old

2. Seven years old

3. Three years old

4. Six months old

The correct answer is: Chronologically or mentally five years old

A diagnosis of enuresis is typically considered appropriate when the condition occurs at least twice weekly and the patient is at least chronologically or mentally five years old. This age requirement is important because enuresis is more commonly expected in younger children and may be considered developmentally appropriate up to a certain age. By the age of five, most children have gained adequate bladder control, and persistent bedwetting beyond this age may warrant evaluation and potential intervention. Therefore, option A is the correct answer in this case.
