normal range of urine production
1-2 L/day
226
what factors influence production of urine
fluid intake and temperature
227
Erythropoietin
produced by kidneys
stimulate red blood cell production and maturation in bone marrow
228
renin-angiotensin system
renin released from juxtaglomerular as enzyme to convert antiotensinogen (synthesized by liver) into angiotensin I. and Angiotensin II (in lungs) causes vasoconstriction and stimulate aldosterone release from adrenal cortex.
aldosterone cause retention of water which increase blood volume and blood pressure
229
prostaglandin and prostacyclin
maintain renal blood flow through vasodilation
increase arterial blood pressure and renal blood flow
230
kidney impairment
problems with anemia, hypertension, and electrolyte imblance
231
ureters
attached to each kidneys and carry urine from kidney pelvis to bladder
urine drainage from ureter to bladder is sterile
232
contraction of bladder
compress lower part of ureters to prevent backflow into ureters
233
urinary reflux
backflow of urine into the ureters
234
hydroureter/hydronephrosis
distention of pelvis of kidney due to backflow
cause permanent damage to sensitive kidney structures and functions
235
bladder
lies in pelvic cavity behind symphysis pubis
has two part: trigone--fixed base
detrusor-distensible body
236
pressure in bladder
remains low while filling, preventing backflow
237
urethra
passes through thick layer of skeletal muscle called pelvic floor muscles
238
pelvic floor muscle
stabilize the urethra and contribute to urinary continence
239
external urinary sphincter
made up of striated muscles
contribute to voluntary control over the flow of urine
240
female urethra
3-4 cm (1-1 1/2 inches) long
241
male urethra
18-20 cm (7-8 inches) long
242
urination
process of bladder emptying
also known as micturation and voiding
243
bladder fills
400-600 mL
244

inability to empty the bladder partially or completely
245
acute or rapid onset urinary retention
stretches bladder causing feeling of pressure, discomfort/pain, tenderness over symphysis pubis, restlessness, and sometimes diaphoresis
no urine output over several hours
frequency, urgency, incontinence, sensation of incomplete emptying
246
postvoid residual (PVR)
amount of urine left in the bladder after voiding and is measured with ultrasonography or straight cath
247
overflow incotinence
incontinence caused by urinary retension
pressure in bladder exceeds the ability of the sphincter to prevent passage of urine, and the patient will dribble urine
248
transient incontinence
cause by medical condition and in many cases are treatable and reversible
249
Functional incontinence
loss of continence because of cause outside urinary tract
due to altered mobility, cognitive impairment, environmental barriers
250
stress urinary incotinence
involuntary leakage of small volume of urine associated with increased intraabdominal pressure related to either urethral hypermobility or an incompetent urinary sphincter, weak pelvic floor muscles, trauma after childbirthu
251
urge or urgency incontinence
passage of urine often associated with strong sense of urgency related to overactive bladder cuased by neurological problems, bladder inflammation, or bladder outet obstruction
252
reflux urinary incontinence
loss of urine occuring at somewhat predictable intervanls when patient reaches specific bladder volume related to spinal cord damage between c1 and s2
253
bacteriuria
bacteria in urine
can be asymptomatic bacteriuria
254
pyelonephritis
upper UTI
255
bacteremia
life-threatening bloodstream infection
256
dysuria
burning or pain with urination
257
cysitis
irritation of the bladder
258
cauti
catheter associated urinary tract infection
most common hospital acquired infection
259
urinary incontinence
complaint of involuntary loss of urine
260
Types of UI
urgency
stressed
overflow
261
cystectomy
bladder removal
262
urinary diversion
procedure that diverts urine to the outside of the body through an opening in the stomach wall called a stoma
263
oxybutynin
antimuscarinic agent
treatment of urinary urgency
cause dry mouth, constipaton, and blurred vision
cause congnitive impairment
264
nitrofurantoin
antibiotic used to treat UTI
265
Nethanechol
used to treat urinary retention
cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and increase salivation
266
phenazopyridine
analgesiac
patient with painful urination associated with uti
turn urine orange
267
a patient who undergone urological surgery is prescribed cath. which diameter of cath does the nurse anticipate to used for this patient
greater than 16 Fr
268
patient has a full bladder, and is having difficulty voiding. which instruction would the nurse provide patient?
use crede method
put pressure on the suprapubic area with each attempted void. relax sphincter
269
post op patient has not voided for 6 hours which method would benefit in assisting patient to void
standing at bedside
man void more easier in standing position
270
squatting position when voiding does what in female
promotes compete bladder emptying
271
overflow UI
characterized by nocturia, frequency and distended bladder on palpation
272
instruction regarding bladder training would be included in the teaching plan for the family of a patient who is incontinent because of a stroke
offer patient the commode or urinal every 2 hours
273
positive keytones in urine
keytone is byproduct when body use fat for energy production
starvation
dehydration
uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
274
UTI infection
symptoms dysuria, urgency, frequency, and nocturia
275
normal patient should consume how much fluid
2300 mL
276
ventilation
movement of air from the atmosphere thorugh the upper and lower airway to the alveoli
277
respiration
process where gas exchange occurs at the alveolar-capillary memnrane
278
perfusion
involves blood flow at the alveolar-capillary bed
279
diffusion
movement of molecules from higher to lower concentration, takes place when oxygen passes into the capillary bed to be circulated and CO2 elaves the capillary bed and diffuses into the alveoli for ventilation excretion.
