Q

A

used as an incontinent urinary diversion; ureters attached to a channel instead of bladder that travel to stoma and out into collection bag; channel usually made out of small intestine

Q

collection bag for ileal conduit urinary diversion

A

empty bag at 1/3 to 1/2 fullness; used long term; can be used for short term but is hard to reverse once created; want 1/8 of skin around stoma exposed

Q

urinary retention reservoir

A

also known as continent cutaneous reservoir; can control release of urine via straight cath through stoma; stoma is attached to a created bladder (knock pouch) that functions like a normal bladder would (kidneys transport urine through ureters to create (bladder); no need to worry about kin breakdown as there is no collection bag or adhesive

Q

temporary ostomy

A

might be used to allow bowel to rest and repair itself related to inflammatory disease like crohns or after certain types of intestinal surgery or after injury; once issue has resolved then patient goes back for second surgery to reverse ostomy or bowel diversion

22
Q

permanent ostomy

A

performed for debilitating intestinal diseases or cancer of colon/rectum; patients have these for life

23
Q

sigmoid colostomy

A

stoma placed right at end or sigmoid colon before the rectum; bypasses rectum; hard formed fecies

24
Q

descending colosotomy

A

stoma placed at the end of descending colon before sigmoid colon curve; bypasses sigmoid colon; less hard fecies than sigmoid colostomy

25
transverse colosotmy
stoma placed in middle of transverse colon; bypasses half of colon;large intestine; fecies is softer/liquid than descending colostomy
26
ascending colostomy
stoma placed in beginning of ascending colostomy; bypasses majority of large intestine; more liquid fecies
27
ileosotmy
stoma placed at end of small intestine where ileum ends; bypasses entire colon/large intestine; liquid fecies (no water able to be reabsorbed by colon)
28
ideal time to empty colostomy
1/3 is ideal but 1/2 is still alright
29
colosotmy/ileostomyinspection
want bright beefy red stoma; want 1/8 inch of skin exposure around stoma and under dressing/bag seal; can have a ring dressing to clip bag onto
30
swollen stoma
common right after surgery; bleeding can occur following surgery
31
flush stoma
result of fluctuating weight or erosion of skin causing stoma to seep into itself; could be due to tissue used to create stoma
32
colostomy/ileostomy care
measure intake in output; peristalsis may be absent or minimal after surgery; check for stool or gas formation; air/stool present once peristalsis returns; pt teaching on ostomy as ADL is important; depression and altered body image can result with stoma
33
if gas occurs in colostomy/ileostomy bag...
need to burp the bag
34
reasons for peristalsis...
can result from pt being NPO or result from anesthesia decreasing bowel motility
35
when changing ostomy bag
clean around stoma with moist gauze; check for breakdown; may need to expose more than 1/8inch of skin under dressing if skin breakdown present (dont want to place adhesive on broken down skin)
36
physiologic changes in middle adult
changes occur overtime; hormonal changes result in physiological changes like fatty tissue redistribution, abdominal fat in men, thicker middle in females, dry skin, wrinkles develop, loss/gray hair, decrease in cardiac output, muscle mass decreases, strength and agility decreases, calcium decreases (especially in perimenopausal), visual and hearing decrease, increased fatigue, menopause (women) andropause (men)
37
middle aged adult
40-65 years old; changes occur overtime; not much cognitive change; psychosocially can be time of increased personal freedom and economic stability
38
older adult
65 and older
39
older adult changes
living longer with chronic illness; health disparity becomes magnified in older adults
40
psychosocial changes in middle adults
increased personal freedom, economic stability, changes in relationships or partners, caring for children and aging parents (sandwich generation), career changes, returning to school for employment/education/skill development
41
menopause causes...
decrease in estrogen, progesterone, and ovarian functioning leading to hot flashes, mod swings, fatigue, sleep disturbances, cessation of menstruation; decrease in estrogen increases risk for osteoporosis and heart disease
42
andropause causes...
decrease in testosterone causing loss of muscle mass, decreased libido (still capable of reproduction)
43
physiological changes of older adult
all organs undergo some decline and become less efficient, wrinkles, dryness or sagging of skin, baldness in males, thinning of hair in females, increase in moles, nails thicken, increased brusiing, decreased weight, decrease in muscle mass/strength, brittle/porous bones (increased FX risk), stiffening of joints, mobility/flexibility decreases; more likely to develope complications and heal slowly
44
cognitive changes in older adults
cognitive and behavioral responses slow, reflex response decreases, balance difficulties, coordination decreases, fine motor decreases, spatial orientation decreases, increased risk of falls, sleep disturbances, short term memory decline, ma experience dementia or alzheimers or depression, long term memory usually stays
45
psychosocial changes in older adults
loss of relationships due to illness or death, isolation due to illness and inability to drive, retirement and reduced income, change of living environment, nursing homes, assisted living, changes in role in family
46
health promotion of adults
screenings, physical exams, digital rectal exams, eye exam, oral cancer screening, tetanus shot every 10 years, pneumococcal/shingles vaccine, exams of: skin eyes dental physical; diet- low fat high protein with colorful fruits and vegetables; exercise- encourage movement
47
female specific screenings
mammogram beginning at 40 and every year until 55 then every 2 years until 75 unless findng or fam HX; pap smear for cervical cancer every year from 21-29 and then every 5 years from 30-65; colonoscopy beginning at 45 and done every 10 years unless finding or fam HX
48
male specific screenings
prostate exams beginning at 45 or 40 if Af. Am. or have PMH; digital exam every year; colonoscopy beginning at 45 done every 10 years unless findings or fam HX
49
life expectancy
males- 83.2 and females 85.8; factors such as socioeconomic, race/ethnicity, behaviors, metabolic risks, and health care factors all play into this statistic
50
myths of old age aka ageism
old age begins at 65; most older adults are in long-term care facilities; older adults are sick and mental detioration occurs; older adults are not interested in sex; older adults do not care how they look and are lonely; bladder problems are problem of aging; older adults do not deserve aggressive treatment for illnesses; older adults cannot learn new things
51
causes of accidental injuries in adults
changes in vision and hearing; loss of mass and muscle strength; slower reflexes and reaction times; decreased sensory ability; effects of chronic illnesses and medications; economic factors
52
elder abuse
1/10 older adults in community-dwelling over than 60 years of age experience it; factors that increase risk are environmental, social, financial, educational, employment based inequalities; rates of worldwide abuse increased during covid; abuse consists of physical, sexual, psychological, emotional, financial, and neglect; men have higher rates of death by homicide and nonfatal assaults
53
nursing actions to promote health in older adults
physiologic function, cognitive function, psychosocial needs, nutrition, sleep and rest, elimination, activity and exercise, sexuality, meeting developmental needs
