keeping cath drainage bag in the dependent position prevents?
urinary reflux
A client underwent total knee replacement and was placed on patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). The client has been activating the drug button an average of 4 times per hour. The nurse has assisted the client on and off the bedpan 2 or 3 times an hour for the past 2 hours. Urine output was about 50 ml with each void. The nurse now begins to suspect:
retention overflow
A client is scheduled for an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). Before the test the most important assessment the nurse performs is asking about:

KUB Film
A KUB is a plain frontal supine radiograph of the abdomen. It is often supplemented by an upright PA view of the chest (to rule out air under the diaphragm or thoracic etiologies presenting as abdominal complaints) and a standing view of the abdomen (to differentiate obstruction from ileus by examining gastrointestinal air/water levels).
IVP
radiological procedure used to visualize abnormalities of the urinary system including the kidneys
retrograde pyelogram
a urologic procedure where the physician injects contrast into the ureter in order to visualize the ureter and kidney. The flow of contrast (up from the bladder to the kidney) is opposite the usual flow of urine hence the retrograde name. Reasons for performing a retrograde pyelogram include identification of filling defects (e.g. stones or tumors) as an adjunct during the placement of ureteral stents or ureteroscopy or to delineate renal anatomy in preparation for surgery. Retrograde pyelography is generally done when an intravenous excretory study (IVP or contrast CT scan) cannot be done because of renal disease or allergy to intravenous contrast.Relative contraindications include the presence of infected urine
name 5 different diagnoses for urinary problems

Cystogram
voiding cystogram is a functional study where contrast "dye" is injected through a catheter into the bladder. Under x-ray the radiologist asks the patient to void (usually young children) and will watch the contrast exiting the body on the x-ray monitor. This examines the child's bladder and lower urinary tract. Typically looking for vesicoureteral reflux, involving urine backflow up into the kidneys.
Renal Arteriogram
visualizes the renal arteries to detect narrowing or occlusion. a catheter is placed in the femoral artery and introduced up to the level of the renal arteries. assess for shellfish allergy
urge incontinence
involuntary passage of urine after a strong sense of urgency to void
stress incontinence
involuntary leakage of urine during increased abdominal pressure in the absence of bladder muscle contractions
reflex incontinence
loss of urine involuntary at intervals without sensation of urge to void. Spinal cord dysfunction
overflow incontinence
Overflow incontinence occurs when the patient's bladder is always full so that it frequently leaks urine. Weak bladder muscles, resulting in incomplete emptying of the bladder, or a blocked urethra can cause this type of incontinence. Autonomic neuropathy from diabetes or other diseases (e.g Multiple sclerosis) can decrease neural signals from the bladder (allowing for overfilling) and may also decrease the expulsion of urine by the detrusor muscle (allowing for urinary retention). Additionally, tumors and kidney stones can block the urethra. In men, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may also restrict the flow of urine. Overflow incontinence is rare in women, although sometimes it is caused by fibroid or ovarian tumors. Spinal cord injuries or nervous system disorders are additional causes of overflow incontinence. Also overflow incontinence in women can be from increased outlet resistance from advanced vaginal prolapse causing a "kink" in the urethra or after an anti-incontinence procedure which has overco
functional incontinence

explain clean catch
The urinary tract naturally contains bacteria, which can contaminate a urine sample. The clean-catch method is used to prevent these bacteria from getting into the urine sample. The clean catch can be used for a routine urinalysis, a urine culture, or other urine tests that require pure urine for accurate results. Urinate in toilet in beginning of stream and then into cup remove container from cup without stopping flow after getting 1-2 oz.

natural immunity
Acquired Immunity is
acquired in life but not at birth and usually develops as a result of prior exposure to antigen
A Vaccine is what
Acquired immuinty
There are two kinds of lymphocytes
the B lymphocytes and the T lymphocytes. Lymphocytes start out in the bone marrow and either stay there and mature into B cells or they leave for the thymus gland where they mature into T cells. B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes have separate jobs to do: B lymphocytes are like the body's military intelligence system seeking out their targets and sending defenses to lock onto them. T cells are like the soldiers destroying the invaders that the intelligence system has identified. Here's how it works.
Once the B lymphocytes have produced antibodies
these antibodies continue to exist in a person's body so that if the same antigen is presented to the immune system again the antibodies are already there to do their job. That's why if someone gets sick with a certain disease like chickenpox that person typically doesn't get sick from it again. This is also why we use immunizations to prevent getting certain diseases. The immunization introduces the body to the antigen in a way that doesn't make a person sick but it does allow the body to produce antibodies that will then protect that person from future attack by the germ or substance that produces that particular disease.
Although antibodies can recognize an antigen and lock onto it
they are not capable of destroying it without help. That is the job of the T cells. The T cells are part of the system that destroys antigens that have been tagged by antibodies or cells that have been infected or somehow changed. (There are actually T cells that are called "killer cells.") T cells are also involved in helping signal other cells (like phagocytes) to do their jobs.
Antibodies can also neutralize toxins (poisonous or damaging substances) produced by different organisms. Lastly
antibodies can activate a group of proteins called complement that are also part of the immune system. Complement assists in killing bacteria viruses or infected cells.
Innate Immunity
Everyone is born with innate (or natural) immunity a type of general protection that humans have. Many of the germs that affect other species don't harm us. For example the viruses that cause leukemia in cats or distemper in dogs don't affect humans. Innate immunity works both ways because some viruses that make humans ill — such as the virus that causes HIV/AIDS — don't make cats or dogs sick either.
Innate immunity
also includes the external barriers of the body like the skin and mucous membranes (like those that line the nose
Passive Immunity
Passive immunity is "borrowed" from another source and it lasts for a short time. For example antibodies in a mother's breast milk provide an infant with temporary immunity to diseases that the mother has been exposed to. This can help protect the infant against infection during the early years of childhood.Everyone's immune system is different. Some people never seem to get infections whereas others seem to be sick all the time. As people get older they usually become immune to more germs as the immune system comes into contact with more and more of them. That's why adults and teens tend to get fewer colds than kids — their bodies have learned to recognize and immediately attack many of the viruses that cause colds.
Gamma globulin injections
are usually given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient's immunity against disease. Injections are most commonly used on patients who have been exposed to hepatitis A or measles
antibodies are
large proteins called immuloglobbins bc they are found in the globulin fraction of plasma proteins
steroids cause
immunsuppressive in Latent TB

edit color/moisture/bleeding
Active immunity
the immune defenses are developed by persons own body
passive immunity
is temporary from source outside of body that has gained immunity thru previous disease or immunization

active vs passive immunity
Naturally acquired active immunity occurs when the person is exposed to a live pathogen, develops the disease, and becomes immune as a result of the primary immune response. Artificially acquired active immunity can be induced by a vaccine, a substance that contains the antigen. A vaccine stimulates a primary response against the antigen without causing symptoms of the disease (see vaccination).

Artificially acquired passive immunity is a short-term immunization by the injection of antibodies, such as gamma globulin, that are not produced by the recipient's cells. Naturally acquired passive immunity occurs during pregnancy, in which certain antibodies are passed from the maternal into the fetal bloodstream. Immunologic tolerance for foreign antigens can be induced experimentally by creating conditions of high-zone tolerance, i.e., by injecting large amounts of a foreign antigen into the host organism, or low-zone tolerance, i.e., injecting small amounts of foreign antigen over long periods of time.
Passive immunity response is immediate, but not long lasting. Because no time is taken for the production of sufficient level of antibodies,(as antibodies are being injected) and after the level of antibodies is reduced or they are used up-No more antibodies production is there.
Most of the vaccines consist of non virulent, mutant strains of the poliovirus. The use of vaccines, which stimulate the production of antibodies in the body, and making a person immune against the disease or infection, is called active immunity. Active immunity response is not immediately available but it is long lasting.
