Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
costovertebral angle   landmark for locating kidneys, it is formed by the rib cage & vertebral column. The normal-size left kidney is rarely palpable because the spleen lies directly on top of it  
🗑
creatinine,   a waste product produced by muscle breakdown. urinary excretion of creatinine is a measure of the amt of active muscle tissue in the body, not of body weight  
🗑
cystometrogram   evaluates bladder tone, sensations of filling and bladder. involves insertion of catheter and instilling water/saline into bladder. measurements of pressure excerted against bladder wall are recorded  
🗑
nsg actions for cystometrogram   explain procedure during infusion pt is asked about sensations of bladder filling, usually including the 1st desire to urinate, a strong desire to urinate & perception of bladder fullness. Observe pt for manifestation of urinary infection after procedure  
🗑
cystoscopy   inspects interior of bladder with cystoscope. Can be used to insert ureteral catheter, remove calculi, obtain biopsy specimens of bladder lesions & to treat bleeding lesions. lithotomy position is used  
🗑
complications of cystoscopy   urine retention, urinary tract hemorrhage, bladder infection, perforation of bladder  
🗑
nsg actions for cystoscopy   before: force flds or give IV flds, obtain consent and give pre procedure meds after: burning, frequency and pink-tinged urine are expected. Observe for bright red urine, offer sitz bath or analgesic to relieve pain  
🗑
glomerular filtration rate (GFR)   amt of bld filtered each minute by glomeruli. the normal GFR is about 125ml/min. The peritubular capillary network reabsorbs most of the glomerular filtrate before it reaches the end of the collecting duct therefore only 1ml/min  
🗑
glomerulus   afferent arteriole divides into a capillary network, the glomerulus which is a tuft of up to 50 capillaries  
🗑
intravenous pyelogram (IVP)   visualizes urinary tract after IV injection of contrast. Presence position, size & shape of kidneys, ureters & bladder can be evaluated. Cysts, tumors lesions and obstructions cause a distortion in normal appearance of these structures.  
🗑
complications of IVP   severe renal function  
🗑
nsg actions for IVP   night before: give enema. Before procedure: assess pt for iodine sensitivity to avoid anaphylactic reaction. Advice pt that warmth, flushed face & salty taste during injection of contrast may occur. After: force flds, watch for hematuria, infection,  
🗑
nephron   the functional unit of the kidney. Each kidney contains approx. 1 million nephrons.  
🗑
where are the glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, proximal tubule and distal tubule located?   cortex of kidney  
🗑
where are the loop of Henle and collecting tubules located?   medulla  
🗑
renal biopsy   obtains renal tissue to determine type of renal disease or follow progress of renal disease. done with needle inserted into lower lobe of kidney, can be done with CT or U/S to guide needle. contraindi: bleeding disorders & uncontrolled HTN  
🗑
nsg action for renal biopsy   type & cross for bld, CBC, H/H, PT, PTT, no aspirin or warfarin. AFTER: apply pressure dsg & keep on affected side for 30-60 mins, bedrest for 24hrs, v/s q15m x4, assess for flank pain, bleeding, hypotension, dysuria, no heavy lifting 5-7 days, check H/H  
🗑
Bowman's capsule   filtrate passes through to tubule  
🗑
tubule   proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting tubule  
🗑
physiology   elimination of waste products, flds & electrolytes balance regulator, production of bld cells, hormonal control of BP  
🗑
ureters   anatomy- hollow tubes, about 12 inches long physiology- propel urine to bladder from kidneys  
🗑
urine   color-yellow, consistency-clear, specific gravity- 1,000-2,000ml, BUN 7-18, creatinine- 0.7-1.4  
🗑
promotion of normal urinary function   adequate hydration, activity, regular voiding habits, children 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 bladder reflex control, 3 yrs- regular voiding habits, 4-independent bathroom activity, 5 yrs-nighttime control  
🗑
enuresis   lack of nighttime bladder control in school-aged child  
🗑
s/s of enuresis   voiding @ frequent intervals in small amts, suprapubic discomfort & bladder distention, appropriate hydration, specific gravity is elevated  
🗑
causes of enuresis   neurogenic bladder, stricture, calculi, trauma, Predisposing factors: bedrest, tremors, prostatic hypertrophy, decreased bladder tone, calculi, meds (nephrotoxicity)  
🗑
complications of enuresis   rupture of bladder, infection, uremia  
🗑
nursing care   stimulate voiding, pouring tepid water over perineum, positioning, catheterization, surgical: suprapubic cystostomy, surgery for kidney stones  
🗑
ureteral catheterization   avoid removing more than 500ml at one time, if more urine in bladder clamp after 500ml and wait 15-30 minutes, then continue  
🗑
catheter irrigation   to prevent obstruction of flow, use sterile technique, monitor I&O, monitor for s/s of infection,  
🗑
incontinence   involuntary loss of bladder control due to infection, neurogenic bladder, sphincter weakness or reduced muscle tone.  
🗑
types of incontinence   urge incontinence-strong & sudden urge, unknown cause, Stress- occurs with physical exertion such as lifting, sneezing, Overflow: constant dribbling of urine, diabetic neuropathy, prostatic hyperplasia, uterine prolapse, Reflex-large of urine retained,  
🗑
Interventions for incontinence   scheduling, bladder retraining, pelvic exercises, surgery, condom catheters, incontinence pads, avoid delay in assisting patient to bathroom  
🗑
ureterosigmoidostomy   ureters are attached to the sigmoid colon to allow drainage into rectum & eliminate ion control by anus, not as commonly used  
🗑
cutaneous ureterostomy   one or both ureters are brought to the skin surface to form a stoma to drain urine  
🗑
ileal conduit   both ureters are attached to a segment of ileum, which is brought to the surface of the lower abdomen to form a stoma to drain urine, most commonly used urinary diversion  
🗑
cystitis   inflammation of the bladder, may be infectious (bacteria, virus, fungal) or noninfectious (irritation)  
🗑
s/s of cystitis   urgency, frequency, burning during urination, cloudy, foul smelling urine, Predisposing factors: female is more prone, catheterization, instrumentation, hospital acquired infection  
🗑
nsg management of cystitis   force flds to 3L/day, urine C&S, antibiotics (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) antifungal (ketoconazole), urinary analgesic (phenazopyridine), cranberry juice, no caffeine, carbonated drinks, no tomatoes, urinary antiseptics (nitrofurantoin)clean properly  
🗑
pyelonephritis   inflammation of the kidney, s/s: chills, fever, generalized malaise,urinary frequency, dysuria, flank pain, costovertebral angle tenderness  
🗑
nsg management for pyelonephritis   sterile urine culture, usually caused by. E. coli, bld tests, bedrest during acute phase, antibiotic therapy, antiseptic, analgesics,  
🗑
renal & urethral stones   mineral crystallization formed around organic matter, urolithiasis- urinary stones, nephrolithiasis- kidney stones  
🗑
s/s of renal & urethral stones   pain, depends on location, n/v, hematuria, WBCs & bacteria in urine, radiates from flank to abd, diaphoresis, low grade fever and chills, dx tests (IVP, CT, MRI, cystoscopy, KUB)  
🗑
nsg management of renal & urethral stones   monitor I&O, force flds, strain urine, check urine pH, monitor temp, pain mngmt, Surgery: lithotripsy, stent placement, nephrolithotomy, nephrostomy, retrograde ureteroscopy  
🗑
