Question
Answer
Funct    
🗑
Functions of the Kidney:   Urine formation, excretion of waste, regulation of: electrolytes, acid-base balance, RBC prod, cal/phos balance. Control of water and BP. Renal clearance, Synth of Vit D, Secretion of prostaglandins, activates growth hormone.  
🗑
Age-related changes in kidney function, such as decreased renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate and thickening of the renal tubules can alter the excretion of drugs in older adults increasing   the risk of drug toxicity  
🗑
Decreased ability to concentrate urine maylead to increased susceptibility to   dehydration, further complicated by a deficit in thirst.  
🗑
Urine formation increases during the night when leg elevation promotes blood return to the heart and kidneys and may interrupt sleep patterns. Older persons may need to   drink more fluids throughout the day to allow for limiting their intake after the evening meal  
🗑
Nephrotox may occur with the admin of certain drugs and is potentially serious because it decreases   urinary excretion of the drug and increases the risk of drug toxicity.  
🗑
Assessing the chief complaint related to the urinary system. the nurse collects info on the following:   voiding changes/disturbances, urine volume changes, irritating voiding symptoms, obstructive voiding symptoms, urinary incontinence, urine characteristic changes, systemic manifestations, gastro s/s, pain, masses, abnormal appearance, sex dysfunction  
🗑
Risk Factor: Childhood diseases ie strep throat, impetigo, nephrotic syndrome.   POSSIBLE RENAL OR UROLOGIC DISORDER: Chronic Renal Failure
