Q
Catheter-associated urinary tract infection
A

A
- occurs when the brain triggers the bladder to empty, the bladder contracts, the urinary sphincter relaxes, and urine leaves the body through the urethra
9
Q
Nephrostomy
A
- small tubes that are tunneled through the skin into the renal pelvis
- placed to drain the renal pelvis when the ureter is obstructed
10
Q
Pelvic floor muscle training
A
- can help with urinary incontinence
11
Q
Postvoid residual (PVR)
A
- the amount of urine left in the bladder after voiding and is measured with either ultrasonography or straight catheterization
12
Q
Proteinuria
A
- protein in the urine
13
Q
Pyelonephritis
A
- a serious upper UTI
14
Q
Suprapubic catheter
A
- urinary drainage tube inserted surgically into the bladder through the abdominal wall above the symphysis pubis
15
Q
Urinary incontinence (UI)
A
- the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine
16
Q
Urinary retention
A
- inability to empty the bladder partially or completely
17
Q
Ureterostomy
A
- a permanent incontinent urinary diversion created by transplanting the ureters into a closed off part of the ileum and bringing the other end out onto the abdominal wall forming a stoma
18
Q
Urgency incontinence
A
- involuntary leakage associated with urgency
19
Q
Stress incontinence
A
- involuntary loss of urine associated with effort or exertion on sneezing or coughing
20

22
Q
Frequency
A
- voiding more than 8 times during waking hours and/or at decreased intervals, such as less than every 2 hours
23
Q
Hesitancy
A
- delay in start of urinary stream when voiding
24
Q
Polyuria
A
- voiding excessive amounts of urine
25
Oliguria
- diminished urinary output in relation to fluid intake
26
Nocturia
- awakened from sleep because of the urge to void
27
Dribbling
- leakage of small amounts of urine despite voluntary control of micturition
28
Gross hematuria
- blood is easily seen in the urine
29
Microscopic hematuria
- blood not visualized but measured on urinalysis
30
Acute retention
- suddenly unable to void when bladder is adequately full or overfull
31
Chronic retention
- bladder does not empty completely during voiding, and urine is retained in the bladder
32
assessing for CVA tenderness
- costovertebral angle
- kidney infection
33
at what point should you be concerned with urine output
- when it is less than 30ml/hr for 2 hours
34
how can you obtain urine
- clean-voided or clean-catch/mid-stream urine specimen
- urinary catheter
- urinary diversion
35
abdominal xray - KUB
- determines size, shape, symmetry, location of structures of the urinary tract
- common uses: detect and measure urinary calculi
- NO special preparation
36
DOs for skin care
- identify and treat early
- use skin risk assessment tools
- use appropriate skin barrier products
- ensure adequate hydration
- consult WOCN if needed
37
DONTs of skin care
- use traditional soap and water
- double padding the bed
- leave soiled pads
38
single lumen/straight catheter
- intermittent catheterization
- one time catheterization for bladder emptying
39
indwelling catheter
- reminds in place over a period of time
40
triple lumen indwelling catheter
- used for continuous bladder irrigation or when medication instillation into the bladder is necessary
41
coude tip catheter
- a catheter with a curved end that helps maneuver through the prostatic urethra
42
suprapubic catheter
- urinary drainage tube inserted surgically into the bladder through the abdominal wall above the symphysis pubis
- used when blockage of urethra or when indwelling catheter causes irritation
43
external catheters
- males: condom catheter
- females: purewick
44
when should a patient be voiding after catheter removal
