what is reflex bladder
loss of bladder control due to spinal chord injury
what is urinary retentions
hindered peeing due to obstruction of pathway, innability to empty
prerenal dysfunction is caused when?
when problems are occuring in systems before the blood to be filtered hits the kidneys, there could be decreased blood flow to the kidneys causing decrease in blood flow to the renal tissue. (oliguria, anuria)
Renal dysfunction results from?
factors causing direct injury to the glomeruli or renal tubule interfering with their normal filtering, reabsoptive, and secretory functions. (transfusions, diseased glomeruli)
Postrenal dysfunction occurs when?
obstruction to the flow of urine or urinary collecting duct system (blood clots, tumors, caliculi)
oliguria
diminished capacity to produce urine due to decrease in renal blood flow. (dehydration, hemorrhage, CHF)
uremic syndrome includes the following characteristic signs
increased nitrogenous waste in blood, altered regulatory functions, nausea, vomiting, headache, coma, convulsions
peritoneal dialysis
indirect method of cleaning blood of waste products using osmosis and diffusion. Functions as a semipermeable membrane and waste products are taken out via surgically placed cath
Hemodialysis
machine with semi permeable membrane (art. kidney) in which wastes and excess fluid from the blood are removed. Dialysate flued is pumpe through one side, and kidney pumps other.
what are the three most common dysfunctions with the failure to store or empty urine?
Urinary Retention
UTI's
Incontinence
Retention with overflow
progressed retention and the pressure in the bladder builds to a point where external urethral spincter is unable to hold urine back and patient voids several times and only small amounts.
Functional incontinance
urge to void causes loss of urine before wanted
Overflow incontinance
small dribbles to large amounts released from overdistended bladder
Reflex Incontinance
unawareness of bladder filling, lack of urge to void, due to spinal injuries
Stress incontinance
loss due to increased intrabdominal pressure and weak pelvic floor. (laughing)
Urge incontinance
frequent urinary urgency after voiding, lowered bladder capacity and infections
what are three factor to be explored during a nursing history in regard to urinary elimination?
pattern of urination
symptoms of urinary alterations
factors affecting urination
assessment of urine involves what?
measuring I & O / observations of urine characteristics
roenterogram
determines size, shape, symmetry and location of kidneys
CT scan
computerized xray to see detailed structure images on selected plane
renal scan
determines blood flow, anatomical structures, and excretory function
ultrasound
identifies gross structures and abnormalities
three types of invasive procedures for urinary elimination
endoscopy
anteriogram
urodynamic testing
list four types fo foods tat increase urine acidity
meat, eggs, whole grain breads, prunes, cranberry juice
what are the goals of bladder retraining?
increase interval between voiding, decrease voiding during the day and night, restore normal urinary pattern
comfort measures for incontinant clients
dry clothing
protective pad
comfort measures for dysuria clients
analgesics
antibiotics/fluids
comfort measures for painful distenstion clients
warm sitz bath
stimulate peeing
what is the normal specific gravity of urine?
1.010 - 1.025
List two diseases of the GI tract associated with stress
colitis
Crohn's disease
Mineral oil has what effect on defecation?
laxative, decrease fat soluble absorption
Dicyclomine HCL (Bentyl) has what effect on defecation?
decrease peristalsis and can decrease gastric emptying
Narcotics cause what with defecation?
slow peristalsis and segmentation leads to constipation
Anticholinergics do what to defecation?
inhibit gastric secretions and depress GI motility and cause constipation
Antibiotics do what to defecation?
diarrhea because normal flora disrupted and causes cramps
HIstamines do what to defecation?
decrease HCL, interfere with digestion, some and antagonists with food digestion.
NSAIDS do what to defecation
promote GI irritation, dyspepsia can cause irritation
3 groups where constipation is a significant concern
CVD history
glaucoma
increased olecranial pressure
four conditions that cause hemmorhoids
straining feces
pregnant
heart failure
liver disease
assessment of abdomen includes
inspection, auscultation, palpation and percussion
inspection of the abdomen
not distension, shape size, symmetry, skin color of all quadrants, scars, peristaltic waves, stomas, lesions
auscultation of the abdomen
bowel sounds: character frequency, absent, hyperactive?
palpation of the abdomen
tenderness
percussion of the abdomen
detect lesions, fluid, gas, 5 notes, dull, hollow
white or clay stool?
absence of bile
black or tarry melena stool
iron ingestion, upper GI bleeding
liquid consistancy of stool
diarrhea, low absorption
narrow pencil shaped stool?
obstruction , rapid peristalsis
tap water enema?
hypotonic, water is absorped, have lower osmotic pressure than the fluid in the intersitial tissue, there is a net flow of water out of the bowel and into the tissues,give as much as tolerated
normal saline/ milk of mag. enema?
isotonic, equal concentrations on both sides of the colon, no net movement of fluids, stimulates peristalsis
soapsuds/ fleet enema?
hypertonic saline, higher concentration that intersitial fluid and net flow of water is into the colon, distention irritates mucosa and stimulates peristalsis
