urination
Fetus begins to excrete urine between __________ weeks of development.
11th and 12th
Fluids and foods high in sodium can cause fluid retention as water is _______ to maintain the normal concentration of electrolytes.
retained
Common disturbance of urine elimination; voiding at frequent intervals; more often than normal.
frequency
These will cause the colonic movement to cease or slow down by blocking parasympathetic stimulation to the muscles of the colon:
general anesththetics
Inflammation of kidney; more frequent in children who have had a recent case of strep throat; MOST COMMON KIDNEY DISEASE
glomerulonephritis
This is important to maintain the stretch and contractibility of the detrusor muscle so the bladder can fill adeqately and empty completely:
good muscle tone
Assists in the bladder emptying
abdominal muscle contraction
Greatest hazard when insufficient water is taken with bulk-producing laxatives containing fibers, seeds, granules is that the drug may obstruct the
esophagus
During this, the container is held high above the rectum no higher than 18"
high enema
How long are the large intestine in an adult?
125-150cm (50-60 in)
How much fluid does a normal adult require in 24 hours?
2600 ml
H2O accumulates in kidney; urine flow is obstructed and backs up into the kidney; can happen during pregnancy:
hydronephritis
Solutions used in disposable enemas are
Hypertonic
Fleets enema are what type of solution?
hypertonic
Fleets enema adverse effect
retention of sodium
Tap water is what type of solution?
hypotonic
Tap water enema lowers osmotic pressure could have fluid and electrolyte _________ on the person.
imbalance
If a client is put onto a cold bedpan, the client will not defecate because the ________ sphincter muscle contracts.
External
Involunary, unpredictable passage of urine
functional incontinence
Impaired neurologic function can interfere with the normal mechanisms of urine
neurogenic bladder

reflex incontinence
One experiences a loss of urine of less than 50 ml occurring with increased abdominal pressure ex: sneezing, coughing, laughing, lifting
stress incontinence
State of which one experiences a continuous and unpredictable loss of urine
total incontinence
Involuntary passage of urine occurring soon after a strong sense of urgency to void
