Loop diuretics   work in the Loop of Henle by blocking reabsorption of sodium & chloride  
🗑
Thiazide diuretics   work on the distal tube to block sodium reabsorption & increase potassium & water excretion  
🗑
Potassium-sparing diuretics   work in the distal tubule to allow sodium excretion, while restoring much of the K+ to the body, avoiding the potassium depletion seen with other types of diuretics Also miscellaneous diuretics carbonic anhydrase inhibitors & osmotic diuretics

🗑
Dialysis: Hemodialysis   is the exchange of body wastes across a semipermeable membrane via vascular catheters;

🗑
Nocturia   > 2 times at night  
🗑
Frequency   > 6 times per day (UTI, Diabetes, Pregnancy, Stress)  
🗑
Urgency   --“Gotta go NOW”, from irritation, poor sphincter control, bladder spasms, stress

🗑
Hesitancy   Difficulty starting urinary stream  
🗑

🗑
Intake and Output   Change in I & O is a significant indicator of fluid alterations or kidney disease  
🗑
Order:   Will read I & O- measure everything that goes in and everything that comes out  
🗑

🗑
pH   4.5-8.0 the pH may indicate the client’s diet or state of nutrition.  
🗑

When bladder contains 250-450 mL, signal to   CNS of need to void. Can consciously inhibit this urge (as nurses often do at work)  
🗑
Voluntary urinary retention   failure to respond by voiding when bladder contains > 300 mL can stretch detrusor muscle & cause loss of muscle tone, and can lead to overfilling.
