What does enuresis refer to?

Sleepwalking
Bed wetting
Separation anxiety
Night terrors

The correct answer is: Bed wetting

Enuresis specifically refers to the involuntary urination, typically occurring at night when a child is asleep, which is commonly known as bedwetting. This condition can manifest in children who have already reached an age where they should be able to control their bladder during sleep. Enuresis is distinct from other sleep-related disorders and issues. For example, sleepwalking involves a person walking or performing other complex behaviors while in a sleep state, and separation anxiety pertains to the distress that children may experience when separated from their caregivers. Night terrors, on the other hand, are episodes of intense fear during sleep, often causing the child to cry out or appear agitated. Each of these conditions is different in its symptoms and implications, while enuresis specifically deals with a child's inability to control urination during the night. This focused definition helps in understanding the condition and guiding appropriate interventions if needed.
