A Incorrect. Encopresis is fecal incontinence and is not necessarily related to enuresis, primary or secondary. This statement would not best explain a secondary enuretic.
B Incorrect. Secondary enuresis occurs then a child has been dry for at least 3 to 6 months and then resumes wetting, and has nothing to do with the etiology. This statement would not best explain a secondary enuretic.
C Incorrect. Secondary enuresis occurs then a child has been dry for at least 3 to 6 months and then resumes wetting, not that it is being repeated. This statement would not best explain a secondary enuretic.
D Correct. Enuresis is defined as involuntary voiding of urine beyond the expected age at which voluntary control should be achieved, usually 6 years of age. Secondary enuresis occurs then a child has been dry for at least 3 to 6 months and then resumes wetting.
