GU Flashcards
general nc
weight, I+O, BP (manual)
lots of prep for child and parent for test
specimen collection - newborn (cotton balls, bags, in and out cath is best)
hypospadias tm
sx (stages) - void standing, improve physical appearance, preserve functionality (procreate)
ideal time for sx is 6-18 mo - time for anesthesia safe and before they know theres something wrong
hypospadias nc
examine newborn carefully, delay circumcision if any question (need foreskin), psych prep of parent and child
hypospadias post op nc
pressure dressing - check tip frequently, dont change dressing
catheter/stent care: closed drainage
double diaper (drain stent, if open system)
teach home care (no tub bath with external stent or cath (48hrs), no sandbox, no straddle toys, dont carry on hip)
cryptorchidism tm
ultrasonography or sx exploration - locate
treatment <1yr
med: HCG - not really US
sx: 6-24 mo
teach: increased risk of testicular cancer 30s - 40s
check during well child exams, will sometimes come out in warm env
obstructive uropathy tm
sx correction if needed(strictures), monitor BP, prep parents and children, close obs for post op complications, protect and care for catheters (pain), teach home care (cath care)
if constipated - just clean out
vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) tm
voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) - protect kidneys from scaring
med: abx until they go to sx or until they grow out of condition - give abx at night (most stasis)
sx: when abx dont work or severe reflux - reimplant ureters
VUR nc preop
prevent infection - abx compliance - night, empty bladder completely - send to bathroom several times, teach good hygiene - uti hygiene
screen siblings - familial tendency
age appropriate prep for sx
VUR nc postop
care for catheters and stents (no tub bath, clean, bag below bladder, pericare, empty freq, closed system), admin analgesics (spasms with internal stent) and antispasmodics, teach home care: prophylactic abx for 1-2 mo until body adjusts
hernia tm
immediate med attention: intubation, GI decompression, IV fluids, will need sx
can usually be fixed prenatally
hernia nc preop
monitor resp and fluid status, will monitor heart, acidosis, thermoregulation (warm), CO, sedation, gastric decompression (ng)
nicu
hernia nc postop
continue ventilation, moinitor acidosis, fluid status, DI decompression, thermoregulation, sedation, pain control, CO, parental bonding
UTI tm
cure infection, identify predisposing factor, prevent recurrent
uti nc
appropriate and careful specimen collection and handling, abx admin (bactrin, no amoxicillin), push fluids, promote comfort, adequate followup cultures, teach prevention
no bubble bath (tub good), no tight fitting clothes, empty bladder, schedules times, lots of fluid, pee after sex, change sanitary pads freq, cotton underwear, wipe front to back, finish abx, pain meds
return to clinic 7-10 days later - reflux if recurrent, check
enuresis tm
urine sample (urinalysis), wait for maturation (most outgrow by 10), retention/control exercise, moisture alarm, behavior mod (+ reinforcement)
assess home life, get fingerstick
keigle exercise, exercise, abd tone
drugs (sleepovers, not consistent basis): oxybutinin, imipramine, DDVAP
moisture alarm
behavior mod (+ reinforcement)
enuresis nc
not lazy, not intentional; dont punish, recommend books, limit irritants (chocolate and caffeine), limit fluid intake after dinner and void before bed get them up when theyre sleeping to go potty, bed pads and 2 sets of sheets, pull ups on sleepovers only (wick away moisture), alarm use, support and encouragement (grace chart, + reinforcement)
HUS tm
maintain fluid balance, correct htn, acidosis, e abnormalities; replenish rbc, dialysis if needed
HUS nc
contact, close attention to fluid volume status, fam support, encourage adequate nutrition within dietary restrictions, monitor for bleeding, teach prevention
nephrosis tm
reduce protein excretion (steroids 6-10 days, oral), reduce tissue fluid retention (albumin, lasix), prevent infections, anemia, poor growth, peritonitis, thrombosis, renal fail
bed rest with edema, unrestricted during remission
no added salt, high protein during edema, regular during remission
drugs: corticosteroids, immunosuppressant, loop diuretics, salt poor albumin
nephrosis nc
fluid volume excess - accumulation of fluid in tissues and third spaces
IV fluid volume deficit - protein and fluid loss
infection - decreases resistance, steroids, fluid overload
impaired skin integrity - edema, lowered body defenses
altered nutrition - less than body requirements, loss of appetite and protein
ineffective breathing pattern - ascites (edema)
body image
activity intol
altered fam processes
knowledge deficit
APSG tm
bed rest during acute (1-2 wk, usually self limited), no salt, low protein if BUN elevated, control htn (manual bp q 4 hrs, maybe prn meds), abx if fever, isolate from other sick kids
get better = higher UOP
APSG nc - fluid volume excess
daily weight, accurate I+O, urine specific gravity, monitor hematuria, BP, e imbalance, s of cardiopulmonary congestion, safe diuretics admin, prevent infection
APSG nc - injury (renal fail, encephalopathy, seizure)
buildup of toxins they are not peeing out
s/s of renal fail
careful neuro eval
seizure precautions
APSG nc - knowledge deficit
teach p: how to take BP, diet, monitor urine output and color
ARF tm
prevent, treat underlying cause (dehyd or nepHrotoxic meds - vancomyocin: peak and trough, stop med and give lots of fluids), F+E disturbance, decrease BP, supportive
drugs: mannitol, albumin, furosemide
