Question
Answer
Normal range of urine production and components   1 - 2 L/day, 95% h2O, 5% solutes (electrolytes and urea, uric acid, creatinine, ammonia)  
🗑
What are the functioning parts of kidneys   nephrons remove waste from blood and regulate water/electrolyte concentrations Glomerulus - site of urine formation  
🗑
What is proteinuria   protein in urine, not supposed to be there. If present then faulty glomerulus  
🗑
What is micturition?   urination, voiding. Adult urinates 150-200mL/day, child 50-100. Ext sphincter relaxes, detrusor muscle contracts  
🗑
Three factors affect urination   physiological, psychosocial conditions, diagnosticor treatment-induced  
🗑
Most common urinary problem   inability to store or fully empty urine from bladder from impaired bladder funx, obstruction to urine flow, not voluntarily control  
🗑
What are urinary diversions   urine drains through artificial opening (stoma) on abd wall  
🗑
What is urinary retention?   accumulation of urine in bladder  
🗑
What is over flow incontinence   pxt will void small amts of urine 2-3x hr with no relief of distention or discomfort  
🗑
What is residual urine   urine remains in bladder after urination. Alkaline promotes bacteria  
🗑
Bacteriuria   bacteria in bladder can ascend to kidneys and result in bacteria in bloodstream (bacteremia or urosepsis)  
🗑
What is urinary incontenence (UI)   temporary or permanent loss of control over voiding, multiple childbirths, sedatives, spinal cord injury  
🗑
What do diuretics do for urination?   prevent reabsorption of h2o, incr. urination  
🗑
Two types of urinary diversions   continent urinary reservoir (ureters embedded in reservoir) and orthotopic neobladder(use ileal pouch to replace bladder)  
🗑
four types of urinary incontinence   Total, functional, stress, urge, reflex  
🗑
What is total urinary incontinence and cases and symptoms   continuous loss of urine, Causes: neuropathy of sensory nerves, disease of spinal nerves or urethral sphincter Sx: constant flow, nocturia, not aware bladder fills  
🗑
Functional urinary incontinence   unpredictable passage of urine in pxt with mental/physical disability. Causes: fistula b/n bladder/vagina, change in env. Sx: strong urge to void, with loss before reaching bathroom  
🗑
Stress urinary incontinence   incr abd pressure cause leaks Cause: cough/laugh/vomit, obesity, 3rd trimester, weak muscles Sx: dribbling, urgency, freq.  
🗑
Urge urinary incontinence   involuntary void after strong sense of urgency Cause: decr bladder capacity, alcohol/caffeine, incr fluid Sx: urgency, bldr contracture/spasm, nocturia  
🗑
reflex urinary incontinence   involuntary voiding at somewhat predictable intervals Cause: upper/lower spinal cord injury Sx: not aware bldr fills, no urge to void  
🗑
What is CAUTI's   Catheter Associated UTI's, assoc. morbidity, prolong hospitilizations, mortality  
🗑
In acute and long term care settings catheters are always done in what technique?   sterile insertion technique  
🗑
alternatives to catheterization   bladder scanner, toileting schedule  
🗑
What could be cause of voiding freq at night?   renal or cardiovascular disease or cystitis  
🗑
Important factors in pxt history for urination   med usage, mobility status, env. barrier, sensory restrictions, past illness, major surgery, urinary diversion, personal habits, fluid intake, age  
🗑
What is pyelonephritis   kidney infection. with pain, fever, tenderness, pain on percussion  
🗑
What is dysuria   painful or difficult urination, bladder inflammation, trauma of urethra  
🗑
what is polyuria   voiding large amt of urine, excess fluid intake, diabeter, diuretics  
🗑
What is oliguria   diminished output related to fluid intake, dehydration, renal failure, obstruction, incr ADH (antidiuretic hormone)  
🗑
what is hematuria   blood in urine, neoplasms of kidney, glomerular disease, kidney/bladder infections, caliculi  
🗑
Measuring I/O for what physiological problems. What is a danerous I/O amount   measure I/O - totaled q8h, key indicator of fluid imbalance, kidney dysfunction, decr blood vol If below 30mL/hr, notify now  
🗑
Assessment of urine - characteristics   color - pale straw to amber, more concentrated in morn. Drugs x color clarity - transparent odor - ammonia smell  
🗑
Collection of urine, steps to follow   label - name, date, time, type of collection Deliver to lab in 1 hr or refrig Draw 3mL for a culture  
🗑
What does a urinalysis screen for?   renal disease, metabolic disorders, lower urinary tract alterations, fluid imbalances  
🗑
how to clean male/female for urine sample   female- clean from meatus to rectum, use sep. wipe each stroke Male- clean meatus in circular motion from center out, 3x discard initial stream  
🗑
Never collect urine from drainage bags, unless...   Unless specimen is first urine into new sterile bag  
🗑
Normal Urinalysis values   pH = 4.6-8.0 Protein = up to 8mg/100mL glucose = not Ketones = not, dehydration/starve blood = up to 2 RBC Specific gravity = 1.01 - 1.03, measures concentration of urine  
🗑
What do you keep/discard when collecting 24 hr sample   Always discard first sample at beg of collection period.  
🗑
Noninvasive Procedures Abdominal Roentgenogram   plain film, KUB(kidney,ureter,bladder), assess gross structures Useful in visualizing stones/tumors  
🗑
Noninvasive Procedures Intravenous Pyelogram (IVP)   view entire urinary system, IV injection of radiopagque dye  
🗑
Noninvasive procedures Computerized Axial Tomography   visualize abnormal pathological conditions: tumors/masses/lymph nodes  
🗑
Invasive procedures Endoscopy   see organs with telescope/fiberoptic imaging, painful procedure  
🗑
Invasive procedures Urodynamic Testing   Gold standard for assessing bladder fx/dysfx by reproducing bladder sx, study storage and flow thru tract  
🗑
Difference between stress and urge incontinence   Stress: if px loses urine after sneeze/cough Urge: strong urge before incontinence  
🗑
What is Crede's method   putting pressure on suprapubic area to relieve urinary retention  
🗑
Specific interventions   px edu, promote normal micturition and bladder emptying, prevention of infection, promote skin integrity and comfort  
🗑
Cholinergic drugs   Bethanochol - incr bladder contraction and improve emptying  
🗑
Alpha adrenergic drugs   phenoxybenzamine improve emptying  
🗑
Anticholinergic drugs   propantheline - reduce incontinence by blocking contractility of bladder  
🗑
Types of catheterization   indwelling, Foley- until pxt voids completely intermittent- single use (5-10min)  
🗑
Indications for intermittent catheter   1. immed. relief of bladder distention 2. long term mgmt 3. obtain sterile specimen 4. assess for residual urine 5. instill a medication  
🗑
Indications for indwelling/Foley catheter   1. obstuction to outflow 2. surgical procedures 3. blood clot prevention 4. record O in comatose/critical 5. provide continuous irrigation  
🗑
Routine catheter care   q8h, remove secretions/encrustation at site, cleanse first 4 inches of tube, going away from urethra  
🗑
Must replace catheter if...   if no voiding 6-8 hrs after removal, need to put back in  
🗑
Alternatives suprapubic catheter, condom catheter   surgically inserted in bladder thru abd, short periods, can void naturally Condom catheter - coma, low risk for infection, remove daily  
🗑
Sites at risk for infection   place of insertion, drainage bag, spigot tube juction, junction of tube and bag  
🗑
