I suppose you should provide your findings from her physical assessment, giving close inspection to any potential spinal cord compromise that could be caused by a slide lying or rotational position. Does she have this during the day or only at night? Has she has any bladder infections. More information please.
Drinking to much coffee etc in the evening will make you wake up and want to go to the toilet. You shouldn't however wet the bed at age 19 if everything is functioning correctly.
