CH 44 urinary elimination Flashcards
Urinary elimination is a precise system of
filtration, reabsorption, and exertion
Urinary system, process help maintain
fluid and electrolyte balance while glittering and excreting water soluble wat=sted
The primary organs of the urinary elimination system are
the kidney
The nephrons perform most of the functions of
filtration and elimination
most adults produce
1,000-2,000 ml a day of urine
After filtration
the urine passes through the ureters into the bladder
the bladder
the storage reservoir for urine
urine passes from the bladder through the
urethra and exits the body
urinary diversions
are created to reroute urine and are temporary or permanent
Surgeons create urinary diversions for clients who
have bladder cancer or injury
Ureterostomy (lead conduit)
incontinet urinary diversion in which the surgeon attaches one or both ureters via a stoma to the abdominal wall
Nephrostomy
incontinent urinary diversion in which the surgeon attaches a tube from the renal pelvis via a stoma to the surface of the abdominal wall
kock pouch (content lead bladder conduit)
a continent urinary diversion in which the surgeon forms a reservoir from the ileum. The pouch is emptied by clean straight catheter every 2 - 3 hours.
neurobladder
a new bladder created by the surgeon using the ileum that attaches to the ureters and urethra. It asllows the client to maintain continence. The client learns to void by straing the abdominal muscles
Factors that affect urinary elimination
poor abdominal and pelvic muscle tone, acute and chronic disorders, spinal cord injury, age, pregnancy, diet, immobility, psychosocial factors, pain, surgical procedures, medications.
Children receive full bladder control by age
4 to 5 years
An enlarged prostate can obstruct
the bladder outlet which leads to retention and urgency
childbirth and gravity
weaken the pelvic floor
A growing fetus can compromises bladder space and
compress the bladderi
in pregnancy their is a 30 to 50 percent increase in circulatory volume which increases
renal workload and output
An increase in sodium leads to a
decrease in urination
Caffeine and alcohol lead to an
increase in urination
Phenazophyridine medication causes
orange or red urine color
Amitrityline medication causes
green or blue urine color
levodopa medication causes
