Primary enuresis and secondary enuresis are types of bedwetting distinguished based on a child's history.
Explanation:
Primary enuresis refers to bedwetting in a child who has never been consistently dry at night, while secondary enuresis is when a child who has been dry at night for 6 months or more begins bedwetting again. In the case of sudden bedwetting, the nurse would document whether it is primary or secondary enuresis in the child's health record based on the child's history.
