Q

Normal Urine color

A

Pale yellow

Abnormal=
-straw colored
-amber colored
-depends on the concentration

22
Q

Normal urine odor

A

Aromatic

Ammonia odor is due to bacterial action

23
Q

pH of normal urine

A

Range of 4.6-8.0. = NORMALLY AROUND 6

Acidic urine blocks bacterial growth and caluli

24
Q

Specific gravity of normal urine

A

Normal range is 1.015-1.025

25
Q

Normal protein levels in urine

A

Negative or trace amounts

Positive = renal disease

26
Q

Normal glucose in urine

A

Negative

If positive = diabetes mellitus DM

27
Q

Normal ketones in urine

A

Negative

Ketonuria= diabetic Kerosins or starvation

28
Q

Specific gravity test

A

Compares the density of urine to the density of water

The higher the number = the more dehydrated

29
Q

Dark amber urine cause

A

Dehydration

30
Q

Brown urine cause

A

Liver/gallbladder disease

31
Q

Red-brown urine cause

A

Blood in urine

32
Q

Orange, green, blue urine cause

A

Medications, dyes

33
Q

> 3000mL abnormal urine output cause

A

Diuretics
Diabetes
High fluid intake

34
Q

<400mL urine output cause

A

Kidney dysfunction
Excessive fluid loss
Low fluid intake

35
Q

Urinalysis (UA) Tests:

A

Color, odor, RBC’s/WBC’s, pH, glucose, ketones, protein, nitrates, bacteria

36
Q

BUN (blood urea nitrogen) normal range

A

7-20 mg/dL

37
Q

Serum Creatinine normal range

A

0.8-1.4 mg/dL

Elevation indicates renal insufficiency

38
Q

Physical assessment for urinary complications

A

Weigh client
-best indicator of fluid status
Assess I & O
Vital signs
Assess mucous membrane moisture
Assess skin turgor
Bladder assessment

39
Q

Order of nursing physical assessment (nursing)

A

Inspection
-abdomen (note distention if any)
Palpating
-tenderness distention, height of bladder
-urinary retention
Bedside bladder scanner
-ultrasound image of bladder
-urine volume present
(PVR of <50mL= normal bladder emptying)
(PVR of >100mL = not emptying correctly)

40
Q

Inspection urinary nursing assessment

A

Abdomen
Urinary meatus and genitalia
-inflammation, discharge, tissue integrity
Perineum and scrotum
-skin integrity
-edema
-Prolapse of bladder or uterus
-loss of pelvic muscle tone
-incomplete emptying of bladder

41
Q

Palpation urinary nursing assessment

A

Tenderness
Distention
Height of bladder
(Urinary retention)

42
Q

Bedside bladder scanner nursing assessment

A

Ultrasound image of bladder
-urine volume present
Assess postvoid residual
-PVR of <50mL= normal bladder emptying
-PVR of >100mL= abnormal bladder emptying (not emptying completely)

43
Q

Promoting Normal Urination

A

Maintain /develop voiding habits
Promote fluid intake
Strengthen muscle tone
-pelvic floor muscle training
Stimulate urination
-prevent retention
Assist with toileting

44
Q

Continence/bladder training

A

Timed voiding based on log
Set ties
Voiding every 2hrs
Assist with toileting

45
Q

Kegel exercises

A

Stress incontinence
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles

46
Q

Crede’s maneuver

A

Overflow incontinence
During voiding:
-lean forward
-apply light pressure over bladder to complete emptying

47
Q

Cutaneous triggering

A

Reflex incontinence
lightly stroke pubic or thigh skin

48
Q

Delayed urination

A

Urge incontinence
when urge occurs, hold 5mins before voiding
gradually lengthen time
eventually 3-4hrs

49
Q

Anticolinergics

A

Relax smooth muscle of bladder
Decrease bladder muscle contraction
May increase capacity and decrease urge

50
Q

Cutaneous ureterostomy

A

Ureters directed through abdominal wall and attached to opening in skin

Usually permanent

51
Q

Ileal conduit

A

Ureters drain from stoma
created from intestine
Ostomy bag
continuously draining urine

52
Q

Continent rivalry diversion CUD

A

Ureters diverted into a segment of ileum and cecum
uses section of intestine to create internal reservoir that holds urine
Catheterizable stoma
needs to be done at regular intervals
