Patient/Family Considerations • Provide realistic expectations of sacral nerve simulation so that everyone clearly understands that it is to help, not necessarily cure, their urinary problem. • Assist patients to recognize their role in achieving optimal urinary functioning and maintaining integrity of SNS.

Management of Care • Life choices that may affect system integrity and longevity • Impact on other chronic health problems or urinary status • Patients need to be counseled regarding the inability of having MRI once the SNS is placed • Patient responsibility to continue concomitant therapy, if recommended, and to use SNS as prescribed
