Q
What are the tx for UI caused by these?
- Delirium
- Infection
- Atrophic Vaginitis
- Pharmaceuticals
- Psychological
- Excessive UOP
- Restricted mobility
- Stool impaction/constipation
A
- Delirium –> tx underlying cause
- Infection–> abx
- Atrophic Vaginitis–> topical vaginal estrogens
- Pharmaceuticals–> elimination/adjustments
- Psychological–>psych referral
- Excessive UOP–>tx/manage cause, alter timing of fluid intake/diuretics, elevation of LE
- Restricted mobility–> bedside commode / urinal
- Stool impaction/constipation–> bowel management
