NURSING INTERVENTIONS AND PATIENT TEACHING

299
Q

Nursing interventions for the patient with a urinary drainage system involve a number of principles to prevent and detect infection and trauma:

A

.

300
Q
  1. Follow aseptic technique to avoid introducing microorganisms from the environment. Never rest the collecting bag on the floor.
  2. Record I&O For precision monitoring, such as hourly urinary output, add a urometer to the drainage system. If urinary output falls below 50 mL/hr, check the drainage system for proper placement and function before contacting the physician.
  3. Adequately hydrate the patient to flush the urinary tract.
    A)true
    B)false
A

A

301
Q
  1. Do not open the drainage system after it is in place except to irrigate the catheter, and then only with physician orders. It is important to maintain a closed system to prevent UTI’s.
  2. Perform catheter care twice daily and as needed, using standard precautions. Each institution has a specific protocol for catheter care. Cleanse the perineum with mild soap and warm water, rinse well, and pat dry. At times an antiseptic y. solution or ointment may be ordered to use at the catheter incision site.
  3. Check the drainage system daily for leaks.
    A)true
    B)false
A

True

302
Q
  1. Avoid placement of the urinary drainage bag above the level of the catheter insertion, which would cause urine to reenter the drainage system and contaminate the urinary tract.
  2. Prevent tension on the system or backflow of urine while transferring the patient.
  3. Ambulate the patient if possible to facilitate urine flow. If the patient’s activity must be restricted, turn and reposition every H-1 hours.
    A)true
    B)false
A

True

303
Q
  1. Avoid kinks or compression of the drainage tube that may cause pooling of the urine within the urinary tract. Gently coil excess tubing, secure with a clamp or pin to avoid dislodging the catheter, and release the tubing before transferring or repositioning the patient.

Q

means the loss of voluntary voiding control, resulting in urinary retention or incontinence.

B)nephritis
C)hydronephrotic

A

A

310
Q

578
Q

Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) of the prostate is anotl1er procedure used to treat BPH. It is performed . by placing interstitial radiofrequency needles ilirough the urethra and into the lateral lobes of tl1e prostate, causing heat-induced coagulation necrosis. The tissue is heated to 230° F (110° C) for approximately 3 minutes per lesion. A coagulation defect is created. A comprehensive history and physical examination must be done to determine the benefits of using this procedure. Urethrocystoscopy may be indicated to help select the optimal form of therapy.

Q

The technique employs a laser beam, which emits a visible green light at a wavelength that has shallow tissue penetration and is selectively absorbed by blood.

743
Q

Chronic renal failure, or ESRD, exists when the kidneys are unable to regain normal function. ESRD develops slowly over an extended period as a result of renal disease or other disease processes that compromise renal blood perfusion. As much as 80% of nephrons may be severely impaired before loss of kidney function is detected. The most common causes of ESRD are pyelonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, glomerulosclerosis, chronic urinary obstruction, severe hypertension, diabetes mellitus, gout, and PKD.

NEPHROSTOMY

A

818
Q

A nephrostomy is an incision created between the kidney and the skin to drain urine directly from the renal pelvis. A nephrostomy is performed when an occlusion keeps urine from passing from the kidney, through the ureter, and into the urinary bladder. Without a way for urine to drain, pressure would rise within the urinary system and damage the kidneys. The most com. mon cause of obstruction is cancer. This procedure can also be used to remove kidney stones.

URINARY DIVERSION

A

.

832
Q

The most common urinary diversion procedure is the ileal conduit (Bricker’s procedure or ileal loop), the ureters are implanted into a loop of the ileum that is isolated and brought to the surface of the abdominal wall.Occasionally a segment of the sigmoid colon is isolated and used instead of the ileum to form a sigmoid conduit.
A)true

Q

A drainage bag (urostomy bag or appliance) is fitted over the stoma to contain the constant drainage of urine. Continuous urine drainage prevents increased pressure within the conduit that would cause backflow to the kidneys, compromise the circulatory integrity of the conduit, or rupture the surgical anastomosis. Decreased urinary output and low abdominal pain may signal the onset of such problems. Complications of this procedure are wound infection, dehiscence, urinary leakage, ureteral obstruction, small bowel obstruction, stomal gangrene or atrophy, pyelonephritis, renal calculi, and compromised respiratory status secondary to incisional pain
