Milestone 2-1 Flashcards

Q

Continuous bladder irrigation

A

A three-way (lumen) irrigation is used to decrease bleeding and to keep the bladder free from clots—one lumen is for inflating the balloon (30 mL); one lumen is for instillation (inflow); one lumen is for outflow.

Continuous irrigation may be used with TURP.

The amount of fluid recovered in the drainage bag must equal the amount of fluid instilled – secondary hemorrhage may occur from overdistension

Common in postmenopausal women

Low estrogen levels decrease moisture and secretions in the perineal area, predisposing it to the development of infection

Testing: STI, multiple dipstick, leukocyte esterase, nitrite testing, x-ray, CT, ultrasonography, kidney scans

Q

Sensory perception peripheral neuropathy

A

The heels are particularly susceptible to breakdown because of loss of sensation of pain and pressure associated with sensory neuropathy.

The skin is assessed for dryness, cracks, breakdown, and redness, especially at pressure points and on the lower extremities. The patient is asked about symptoms of neuropathy, such as tingling and pain or numbness of the feet. Deep tendon reflexes are assessed.

Teaching: Use a mirror to inspect feet daily.
