through supra pubic pressure or cathetorization
an injury at what level results in a spastic bladder?
any injury above T12
- involuntary loss of urine with local stress/pressure
- hypermobility and displacement of urethra during exertion
- weakness pelvis floor mm
stress incontinence
- involuntary loss of urine associated with strong desire to void
- often involuntary and hyper reflexive detrusor
urge incontinence
- involuntary loss of urine when intra vesicular pressure exceeds maximal urethral pressure, absence of detrusor activity
- bladder distension with absence of absence of detrusor mm activity
overflow incontinence
- coordinated activity between the detrusor muscle and the external sphincter may be affected
- lesions that affect the micturition center in the brainstem or impair communication with center
- instead of relaxing during micturition, the external sphincter becomes more constricted which can lead to increasing pressure and back up into the kidneys
detrusor sphincter dyssynergy

name the 4 types of program evaluation.
- formative
- process
- impact
- outcomes
- used when programs are in newly developed stages
- when determining what programs need to be used - for programs before broader use (such as in other departments or parts of a system)
formative program evals.
- for operation of program components - does it work as designed?
- this is for currently running programs to determine whether they work and how they were designed to work
process program evals.
- measures effectiveness of program
- may be used to determine whether stroke rehab program really helps people be more independent from the time they are admitted in hospital to the time they are discharged
impact program evals.
-short and long-term results of program
outcomes program evals.
