GU Flashcards
pre-op hypospadias care
should be detected in newborn assessment
increased risk of UTI until fixed
may interfere with procreation
post-op care hypospadias care
no straddle toys or carrying infant on the hip
stent will be in place after surgery
double diaper wrap catheter to drain into second diaper
pressure dressing, check tip of penis frequently, do not change dressing
surgery for hypospadias
skin removed during circumcision is used to repair penis
goals of surgical care of hypospaidas
prevent body image problems
enable child to void in standing position
improve physical appearance of genitalia
preserve functionality of sex organ
Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
reflux of urine from bladder into uterus and kidneys
graded 1-5
can lead to HTN, renal insufficiency or failure
primary reflux is familial and usually outgrown
how to treat VUR stage 1-3 (early)
prophylactic antibiotics related to urinary stasis
take all abx as prescribed
how to treat VUR stage 3 (late)-5
surgical repair to fix reflux
primary VUR
result of incompetent valvular mechanism at the ureterovesicular junction
secondary VUR
result of a condition such a UTI
diagnosis and treatment of VUR
VCUG
antibiotics until reflux resolves
surgery, necessary when abx dont work or severe reflux (3-5)
pre-op nursing considerations for VUR
prevent infection (take all abx, empty bladder completely, good hygiene)
screen siblings
age appropriate prep for procedures
post-op nursing considerations for VUR
catheter and stent care (no swimming, sandboxes, or straddling)
pain meds for incision pain and antispasmodics for bladder spasm
prophylactic abx for 1-2 months following surgery
inguinal hernias
should be able to be pressed flat and smooth and should not feel any intestines
asymptomatic and painless
more visible when child cries, strains, coughs, or stands for long periods of time
needs surgical correction
diaphragmatic hernia
opening between thorax and abdominal cavity
abdominal contents enter thoracic cavity, compressing lungs and even effecting fetal lung development
s/s of diaphragmatic hernia
often detected in utero
after birth- respiratory distress, cyanosis, scaphoid abdomen and impaired cardiac output
needs immediate medical attention, intubation, GI decompression, IV fluids and surgery to repair
pre-op nursing management of diaphragmatic hernia
monitor respiratory and fluid status, acidosis, thermoregulation, cardiac output, sedation, gastric decompression
post-op nursing management of diaphragmatic hernia
continued ventilation
monitor of acidosis, fluid status, GI decompression, thermoregulation, sedation, pain control, cardiac output, parental bonding
umbilical hernia
teach parents to assess at home should be able to push flat and feel squishy
if you feel intestines go to ER
usually self resolves in 3-5 years without medical tx or home remedies
UTI’s
most common in females, less common in males
uncircumcised males more likely to have UTI as young infant
E.Coli causes most in females
risk factors of UTI’s
Constipation bubble baths pinworms dysfunctional voiding, urinary stasis decreased fluid intake VUR urologic abnormalities indwelling catheter neurogenic bladder sex abuse sexual intercourse
UTI clinical manifestations in infants
fever weight loss FTT Vomiting diarrhea
UTI clinical manifestations in children
dysuria frequency, urgency, incontinence foul smelling urine possibly hematuria abdominal pain fever
what does a positive UTI urine test show?
nitrites
rbc
wbc
urine culture is positive if shows >100,000 colonies of single bacteria
