48
Q

Blood urea nitrogen

A

Measurement of end product of protein metabolism. Elevated BUN means renal failure

49
Q

Creatine clearance

A

Uses urine and serum levels to determine glomerular filtration rate

50
Q

Dialysis

A

Filtering of the blood done in the presence of inadequate kidney function

51
Q

Diuretics

A

Increased production of urine

52
Q

Dysuria

A

Painful urination

53
Q

Enuresis

A

Involuntary urination in children beyond normal age of bladder control

54
Q

Ileal conduit

A

Common urinary diversion that creates a pouch and stoma

55
Q

Nephrostomy

A

Diverts urine from kidney to a stoma

56
Q

Neurogenic bladder

A

Impaired neurologic function that results in inability of the client to feel bladder fullness

57
Q

Nocturia

A

Is voiding two or more times at night

58
Q

Oliguria

A

Low urine output, usually less than 500 mL a day or less than 30 mL an hour for an adult

59
Q

Polyuria

A

Refers to the production of abnormally large amounts of urine by the kidney, often more than the client’s usual daily output

60
Q

Polydypsia

A

excessive thirst. Excess thirst is an abnormal urge to drink fluids at all times. It’s a reaction to fluid loss in your body.

61
Q

Postvoid residual

A

test measures the amount of pee left in your bladder after you urinate. High PVR levels mean you have urinary retention, which could be caused by an underlying condition. PVR tests are done with bladder catheterization, a bladder scan or a transvaginal ultrasound.

When you go to the bathroom, your bladder should empty completely. But sometimes, pee stays in your bladder even after you feel like you’ve emptied it. The amount of pee that remains in your bladder after you urinate is called post-void residual (PVR). A small amount of pee left in your bladder is normal, but large amounts (called urinary retention) can be a sign of health conditions that need to be treated.

62
Q

Suprapubic catheter

A

Surgically inserted through abdominal wall above the symphysis pubis into the urinary bladder

63
Q

Trigone

A

a triangular region or tissue, particularly the area at the base of the urinary bladder, between the openings of the ureters and urethra.

64
Q

Urinary frequency

A

Voiding at frequent intervals

65
Q

Urinary hesitancy

A

Delay and difficulty in initiating voiding

66
Q

Urinary retention

A

Occurs with impaired bladder emptying; may result in distended bladder

67
Q

Cathartics

A

Cathartics and laxatives increase the motility of the intestine or increase the bulk of feces. Clinically, these drugs are administered to increase the passage of gut contents associated with intestinal impaction, to cleanse the bowel before radiographic or endoscopic examination, to eliminate toxins from the GI tract, and to soften feces after intestinal or anal surgery.

68
Q

Carminatives

A

An agent that prevents or relieves flatulence (gas in the gastrointestinal tract) and, in infants, may help in the treatment of colic. The origin of the word “carminative” is particularly curious.

69
Q

Colostomy

A

surgery to create an opening called a stoma. The opening creates a passage from the large intestine to the outside of your body. This is so that solid stool and gas can leave the body through the stoma instead of passing through the rectum.

70
Q

Constipation

A

An opening through the abdominal wall into the stomach

71
Q

Defecation

A

Expulsion of feces from the anus and rectum

72
Q

Diarrhea

A

Passage of liquid feces and increased frequency of defecation

73
Q

Effluent

A

Ostomy surgeries are performed when part of the bowel or urinary system is diseased and therefore removed. The output from the stoma (urine, feces, or mucous) is called effluent. An ostomy is named according to the part of intestine used to construct it.

74
Q

Enema

A

A solution introduced into the rectum and large intestine

75
Q

Fecal impaction

A

Mass or collection of hardened feces in the folds of the rectum

76
Q

Flatus

A

Air and by-products of carbohydrate digestion

77
Q

Gastrocolic reflex

A

an otherwise normal response in which you feel like pooping after eating. The reflex is natural and usually nothing to worry about. But if it is unusually strong and you have to rush to the bathroom after eating, it may be a sign of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

78
Q

Jejunostomy

A

a surgical procedure by which a tube is situated in the lumen of the proximal jejunum, primarily to administer nutrition/ opening through the abdomen into the jejunum

79
Q

Ileostomy

A

A surgically created opening in the abdomen in which a piece of the ileum (lowest part of the small intestine) is brought outside the abdominal wall to create a stoma through which digested food passes into an external pouching system/ opening through the abdominal into the ileum

80
Q

Hemorrhoids

A

when the veins or blood vessels in and around your anus and lower rectum become swollen and irritated. This happens when there is extra pressure on these veins. Hemorrhoids can be either inside your anus (internal) or under the skin around your anus (external).

81
Q

Laxatives

A

treat constipation by softening hard stools or stimulating your bowels to get moving so you can poop. Common types include bulk-forming laxatives, osmotics, stool softeners, lubricants and stimulants. Most are available without a prescription

82
Q

Peristalsis

A

Wavelike movement produced by the circular and longitudinal muscle fibers in the intestine walls.

83
Q

Stoma

A

The opening created in the abdominal wall by an ostomy
