A

testicular self examination

24
Q

Semen storage after diagnosis, before radiation therapy and chemotherapy

A

testicular storage

25
Q

What are the components of co-trimoxazole

A

Co-trimoxazole is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole and is in a class of medications called sulfonamides.

26
Q

What is the rationale for combining the components of co-trimoxazole?

A

work better to disrupt FOLATE SYNTHESIS

27
Q

If patient is also on warfarin (Coumadin), what effects does co-trimoxazole have on Coumadin?
Would you expect the Coumadin dose be increased or decreased?

A

I would expect it to be decreased due to this medication increasing the effects of Coumadin.

28
Q

KUB. Used to diagnose stones

A

X-ray of kidneys, urtreters and bladder

29
Q

Nurses role in IVP (intravenous pylogram)

A

assess allergies to iodine and shellfish , pregnant? nursing?, impaired renal function? metformin?

30
Q

diagnosing stones

A

KUB, pyleogram, 24 hour urine, U/S, CT scan,

31
Q

When analyzed, most stones are

A

calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate.

32
Q

Manifestations of UTI -

A

Blood in the urine (hematuria), Increased frequency of urination, Nausea and vomiting
Pain during urination (stinging, burning), Tenderness in the abdomen and kidney region
Urinary tract infection (fever, chills, loss of appetite). Pain most common symptom
Renal colic : Sudden onset unilateral flank pain, severe enough to cause the patient to go to the ED. Pain fluctuates in intensity, nausea present.

33
Q

renal calculi complications

A

infection, blockage, hydronephrosis

34
Q

Use of shock waves generated outside the body. Repeated shock waves pulverise the stones into fragments

A

lithotripsy (ESWL)

35
Q

post care of lithotripsy

A

Observe for signs of bleeding
Monitor vital signs every hour
Monitor urine output for amount, color, clarity first 48 hours
Observe for increased bruising at side treated
Note any leakage (catheter), s/s of infection

36
Q

common causes of neurogenic bladder

A

vaginal birth, cerebral disorders, diabetes, brain or spinal cord infections, MS, Parkinsons disease

37
Q

accurate predictor of UTI

A

urinalysis with positive nitrate and pyuria and/or bacteria

38
Q

antibiotic treatment for UTI sulfonamide (main one)

A

Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ)
Bactrim/Septra
Bactrim DS should not be used if a patient has received it
For treatment of UTIs during the previous 3 months

39
Q

two more antibiotics for UTI that are not sulfonamides

A 
Fluroquinolones: e.g cipro
	Reserved for complicated cystitis

  yeast infection
Penicillins: Amoxicillin
40
Q
