  1. Stressors Affecting EliminationUrinary NUR101 Fall 2008 Lecture # 22 K. Burger, MSED, MSN, RN, CNE PPP By Sharon Niggemeier RN, MSN

  2. Anatomy & Physiology • Kidneys • Ureters • Bladder • Urethra • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glu0dzK4dbU&feature=related

  3. Anatomy & PhysiologyMATCHING • Let’s test our ?PRIOR? Knowledge of the renal system. • http://www.freenursetutor.com/urinary/flashcards-matching-urinary-system.html

  4. Nephron Function • Functional unit of kidney • 1 million per kidney • 1200 ml blood pass through the kidney/min • Wastes cannot be excreted as solids; must be excreted in solution • Normal urine production = 1 ml / minute • Kidneys must produce 30 ml/hr minimum

  5. Critical Thinking • A client in hemorrhagic shock may proceed quickly into concomitant renal failure. Why? Glomerular capillary blood pressure is the driving force of glomerular filtration. If blood pressure is not maintained, there is not enough osmotic gradient to sustain filtration.

  6. Nephron Function • Blood filtered through glomerulus • this filtrate moves into Bowman’s capsules • proceeds into proximal tubule where water /electrolytes/glucose & protein are reabsorbed • Loop of Henley – water andsolutes such as Na & Cl, are reabsorbed (urine becomes more concentrated) • distal convoluted tubules allows for water and NA reabsorbtion. Controlled reabsorption (by ADH antidiuretic hormone) regulates F/E balance…..collecting duct

  7. Act of Micturition • Urine moves from the kidneys through ureters via peristaltic waves into bladder. • Bladder fills & detrusor muscles sense pressure • Structures and functions for voluntary control of voiding: -External sphincter- restrain or interrupt act -Conscious brain- starts act -Intact spinal cord- needed or else message from the brain is not received.

  8. Hmmm…. • Why are UTIs more common in women than in men? Urethra in women = 1.5 to 2.5 inchesUrethra in men = 6 – 8 inches

  9. Alterations in Urinary Function • Incontinence- brain is not receiving impulse or loss of external sphincter control • Retention- distended bladder due to nerve impulses not perceived or muscles unable to function

  10. Amount1200 ml/day average Color OdorSee Next Slide pH 4.6 – 8.0 Turbidity Specific gravity1.010 – 1.025 Constituents Characteristics of Urine

  11. Get a partner…AND • Describe to them what normal urine smells like. Ammonia? Concentrated urine d/t lack of adequate water intact ORPresence of bacteria in urine ORStanding urine (urea converts to ammonia when exposed to oxygen) Eau D’ Asparagus? Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. (It's also found in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, and in the secretions of skunks.) When your digestive tract breaks down this substance, by-products are released that cause the funny scent. Sweet? Uncontrolled Diabetes Musty? Liver Disease

  12. Food/fluidintake + loss Developmental factorsSee Next Slide Stress Activity/Muscle tone Life style Medications ??? Factors That Affect Voiding

  13. Geriatric Considerations • Decreased ability of kidneys to concentrate urine and decreased bladder capacity = nocturia • Decreased muscle tone of bladder = increased frequency • Decreased bladder contractility & stasis= increased frequency of UTI • Changes in cognition and mobility (in some)= increased incontinence issues

  14. Assessing Urinary Status • Usual patterns • Recent changes • Difficulties • Artificial Orifices

  15. Kidneys: R kidney located 12 rib L kidney lower Tenderness during palpation at costoverterbral angle? Bladder: Below symphysis pubis Supine position to examine Observe-roundness Palpate-tenderness, how high it distends Percussion- full bladder dull sound Physical Assessment

  16. Assessment: Lab Results • Urinalysis- WBC, RBC, protein, glucose, bacteria = abnormal constituents • BUN (blood urea nitrogen) end product of protein metabolism… 10-20 mg/dLIncreased BUN (azotemia) signifies impaired kidney function… affected by diet (hi protein intake) and fluids (dehydration)Decreased BUN signifies impaired liver functionMany drugs elevate BUN (antibiotics, lasix +++)

  17. Assessment: Lab Results • Serum creatinine - by product of muscle metabolism…excreted entirely by kidneys… Normal = 0.5-1.2 mg/dLIncreased levels signify renal impairment • BUN: Creatinine ratio- 20:1… when both rise together indicates kidney failure or disease

  18. Anuria Dysuria Enuresis Frequency Glycosuria Hematuria Hesitancy Frequency Incontinence Nocturia Oliguria Polyuria Pyuria Retention Urgency Proteinuria Altered Urinary Functioning Terms to Know

  19. NCLEX Question Your client has a urinary tract infection. Which of the following signs/symptoms would you expect the client to exhibit? • Proteinuria • Dysuria • Oliguria • Polyuria

  20. Assessing Urinary Retention • Feeling of fullness • Voiding small amounts< 50 ml • Normal intake/inadequate output • Distended bladder • Discomfort • Bladder ScanIf > 300 ml should catheterize

  21. Nursing Dx R/T Urinary Elimination • Impaired urinary elimination • Urinary retention • Functional urinary incontinence • Overflow urinary incontinence • Stress urinary incontinence • Reflex urinary incontinence • Urge urinary incontinence • Total urinary incontinence • Risk for infection r/t urinary retention and/or urinary catheterization • Risk for impaired skin integrity r/t urinary incontinence • Situational low self esteem r/t incontinence

  22. Outcome Criteria Patient will: • Empty bladder completely at regular intervals • Decrease episodes of incontinence • Maintain regular urinary elimination pattern • Develop adequate Intake/Output • Have decreased dysuria

  23. Nursing Interventions • Maintain voiding habits • Promote fluid intake • Strengthen muscle toneKegels 30-80/day • Stimulate urinationAuditoryTactile

  24. Toilet Commode Bedpan Urinal Disposable“ Hat” Fx pan Safety Concerns Female Hygiene Interventions: Toileting

  25. Interventions for Urinary Incontinence • Bladder training/ Habit training • External urinary device- Condom Catheter • Indwelling catheter-LAST resort

  26. Condom Catheter (Texas Cath) • Rubber condom placed on penis of incontinent males • Connects to drainage bag to collect urine • Easy to apply and observe • Comfortable • Doesn’t require intubation • Prevents skin irritation from incontinence

  27. Condom Catheter • Check every 2-4 hrs. • Remove and replace every 24 hrs. • Maintain free urinary drainage • Never tape to skin • Leave 1-2 inch space at tip of penis • Secure snuggly but not too tight • Follow manufacturer instructions

  28. Urinary Catheterization Used to: • Keep bladder deflated during surgery • Measure residual urinePVR (post void residual) should be < 50 ml • Relieve retention • Obtain sterile urine specimen May use either: • Straight catheter or indwelling catheter

  29. Indwelling catheter Refer to Lab Worksheet • Catheter inserted into urinary meatus through urethra into bladder to drain urine • Last resort as it introduces microbes into bladder…leading to UTI (urinary tract infection) • Performed using sterile technique...MD order needed • Remains in place via inflated balloon ALSOSuprapubic Catheter – diverts urethraUrologic Stents- temporary in ureters permanent in urethraIleal Conduit – diversion of ureters to ileum and stoma; requires appliance

  30. Medications Affecting Urinary Elimination • Antibiotics …work against infectionBactrim, Levaquin, Cipro • Urinary antispasmotics …relieve spasms with UTIDitropan, Pro-Banthine • Diuretics….increase urinary outputLasix, Diuril • Cholinergics…increase muscle tone & functionUsed for urinary retention, neurogenic bladderUrecholine

  31. Urinary Specimen CollectionRefer to Lab Worksheet • Routine urinalysis • Clean-catch/midstream urine • Sterile specimen ( catheterization or from indwelling catheter) • 24 hr. urine

  32. Evaluating Urinary Elimination • Frequency • Amount • Ease/Difficulty • Color • Appearance • Odor

  33. Complete Intake and Output Exercise • Handout
