Which factor is NOT a direct concern when evaluating toileting needs?

When assessing a patient's toileting needs in the Hester Davis Scale (HDS) framework, blood pressure medication is not a direct concern. While it may indirectly affect a patient’s overall health and can result in side effects such as dizziness or fatigue, which might influence mobility, it does not directly impact the physical act of toileting itself.

In contrast, dietary restrictions can influence bowel habits and bladder health, which are directly related to an individual's toileting needs. A history of incontinence is critical because it directly impacts the patient’s ability to control urination or defecation, making it central to the assessment. Similarly, the use of assistive devices is essential to consider, as these devices can affect a patient’s ability to independently manage toileting tasks. Therefore, while blood pressure medication may be relevant to the patient's overall health status, its role in direct toileting concerns is limited compared to the other factors.
