Urinalysis

Each patient took a urine test and tests were run to see what colour the urine was, this determines how concentrated the urine is. If the urine is darker and has a smell then the urine is more concentrated. If the urine is a light colour and no smell that means it is not as concentrated. Additionally, the urine was tested to determine the pH, glucose, protein, ketone, yeast, blood, nitrite, bilirubin and urobilinogen. Glucose levels are tested in order to test for the plasma levels; if the glucose levels are high in the blood it could mean the patient has diabetes. If proteins are present in the urine that usually means there is a problem with the glomerulus filtration because the glomerulus is supposed to filter out the protein from the plasma. Therefore leading to a disease related to the glomerulus, diabetes, renal disease or bacterial infection. Ketones present in the urine can mean that there is problem to produce insulin regularly. Blood in the urine can mean that there is bleeding in the urinary system. When testing for nitrite it is to determine how long the urine has been stored in the bladder, if there is a type of bacteria and how much nitrate is in their diet. Lastly, if bilirubin and urobilinogen are present in the urine, it could mean that blood levels are too high due to too many red blood cells or because hemoglobin are not being properly metabolized. Patient A is a 25 year old male who complains of having the feeling of needing to urinate frequently but only…

Behaviors that are rewarded with small bursts of dopamine throughout the day, such as learning or intercourse, are no longer enough to satisfy the ordinary daily needs. This leads to the self-administration of a substance that makes the individual feel better than their current state; in turn, that routine becomes highly addictive. However, a person suffering from substance use disorder can receive behavioral treatments to overcome the mental aspect of their condition. A recent study tested the…

The urinalysis is likely to also check for molecules that promote the growth of bacteria, as well as monomers that specific strains of bacteria shed when they begin replicating inside a new host cell. Depending on the symptoms of the patient further tests and data collection may be required. If the infection were to spread to the kidneys it could cause Kidney failure and ultimately death. An ultrasound examination can be used to check for inflammation of the kidneys and bladder. There are…

a telephone pole. He did not lose consciousness. A urine specimen reveals gross hematuria. P.D. also states that a tape player in the right pocket of a leather jacket is shattered. Subjective Data- Patient states, “he has a sore shoulder”. Patient also states “ he was forced off his motorcycle and sideswiped a telephone pole”. Patient denies losing consciousness and states “a tape player in the right pocket of a leather jacket is shattered”. Objective Data: Urinalysis…

INTRODUCTON Urinalysis is a test that evaluates a sample of urine. The urinalysis is used as a screening/or diagnostic tool because it can help detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with different metabolic and kidney disorders. It is ordered widely and routinely to detect any abnormalities that require follow up. Often, substances such us protein or glucose will begin to appear in the urine before people are aware that they may have a problem. It is used to detect…

Urinalysis is mostly a labor process used to observe urine at a microscopic level (Ben-Ezra, 1998). In the urinalysis, one of the experiments conducted was observing the physical characteristics of the urine sample. The physical characteristics included the color, transparency, odor, and pH level. Observing and determining the color, transparency, odor, and pH of urine can tell the person’s diet and possibly if there might be a bodily issue going on (Gutierrez, 2014). For the first physical…

This essay will use Gibbs Reflective Cycle (1988) to reflect upon my learning from the facilitating workplace learning module and my teaching session on urinalysis. Bulman and Schutz (2013) updated Gibbs reflective framework stating reflection is a means of making sense of a situation in order to move on, and improving as a practitioner. We cannot learn without reflecting on what we could have developed further. Prior to the taught session I read my professional body’s requirements regarding…

before. While at home with my daughter, I was using this time to pack my house in preparation for my family’s pending move at the end of the month. While going through papers I decided to have a beer not thinking that I would be called into work for any reason. Approximately 1130 I received a phone call from Master Gunnery Sergeant Hernandez informing me that my name was on the Urinalysis Roster. I informed the Master Gunnery Sergeant Hernandez that I had my daughter with me and didn’t have…

The urinalysis results also shows that the patient has very high levels of glucose in her urine, which as stated before is an indication that the patient has diabetes. Also, this patient has a BMI of…

An increase in creatinine, bun and lactic acid levels, complete blood count was all unremarkable with exception of an increase in the white blood cell count. Urinalysis reveals presence of leukocytes estrace, nitrates, bacteria, and the presence of white and red blood cells. All lab work is indicative of ER physician diagnosis of urinary tract infection. (Mrs. Jones Patient Chart, 2015) Treatment was to increase the IV normal saline to help flush kidneys of the bacteria. IV antibiotics are…
