Yоu hаve been fоllоwing а 68-yeаr-old woman with a history of moderate obesity, osteoarthritis, and hypertension. While you are taking her history, she has a spasm of coughing and then suddenly excuses herself to use the rest room. When she returns, you ask if she has had any problems with her bladder such as a urinary tract infection. She denies it, but you note her apparent discomfort at the question, and wait a few moments before asking her if she is certain there are no problems. She then admits that she has been having urinary leakage at times. You ask if it is because she has a sudden urge to urinate and can't get to a bathroom in time, or if it is just when she coughs. She confirms that it is only when she coughs, sneezes, or laughs. "It is usually not a lot of urine, and I just wear the pads to protect my clothes," she says. You ask why she has not mentioned this before, and she states that she was too embarrassed and did not think there was anything to be done about it. During her physical exam, you note that there is mild vaginal atrophy and no stool in the rectal vault. There was approximately 30 cc of urine in the bladder, determined by bladder ultrasound after she voided. The urine dipstick was negative. She is hesitant about any invasive procedures. Based on this information, which of the following interventions is most appropriate for this patient?
