A

Use of a tubular lighted scope to inspect interior of bladder

29
Q

What should the nurse encourage during cytoscopy?

A

relaxation actitivies, deep breathing

30
Q

What should a client expect after a cytoscopy?

A
  • burning with urination
  • pink tinged urine
  • urinary frequency
31
Q

In clients with urinary tract obstruction, BUN does what?

A

is elevated

32
Q

In clients with urinary tract obstructions, serum creatinine does what?

A

is increased

33
Q

A client with a urinary tract obstruction will exhibit what?

A

34
Q

Clients with urinary tract calculi may have a history of what?

A
  • family members with urinary tract calculi
  • sedentary lifestyle
  • previous urinary tract stones
35
Q

Metabolic factors contributing to urinary tract obstructions

A

increased urine levels of calcium, oxaluric acid, uric acid or citric acid

36
Q

Climate factors contributing to urinary tract obstructions

A

warm climate that contributes to incidence of dehydration (increase fluid loss, low urine volume, concentrated urine)

37
Q

diet factors contributing to urinary tract obstructions

A
  • high protein diet that increases uric acid excretion
  • excessive intake of tea or fruit juices that increase urinary oxalate levels
  • high intake of calcium and oxalate in diet
  • low fluid intake that increases urianry concentration
38
Q

Genetic factors that contribute to urinary tract obstruction

A

family history of stone formation, cystinuria, gout, or renal acidosis

39
Q

lifestyle factors contributing to urinary tract obstructions

  • mussels
  • venison
43
Q

Burn

A

injury to the tissues of the body caused by heat, chemicals, electrical current, or radiation

44
Q

53
Q

1st 24-48 hours Cardiovascular pathophysiology

A

increase vas. permeability in area of burn injury due to infammatory response –> Loss of plasma proteins and electrolytes –> increase in interstitial fluid –> Decrease in intravascular volume……damaged tissue at burn site

54
Q

1st 24-48 hours respiratory pathophysiology

A

damage to airway secondary to direct burn injury or inhalation of noxious gases

55
Q

1st 24-48 hours renal pathophysiology

A

decreased urinary output secondary to decreased renal blood flow, loss of protein at burn site, stress response to burn injury

56
Q

What lab values would be expected in a burn patient?

A

BUN + CR increase, increase in BG

57
Q

When does the diuretic phase take place after a burn?

A

24-48 hours

58
Q

24-48 hours cardiovascular pathophysiology

A

interstitial to intravascular fluid shifts

59
Q

24-48 hours renal pathophysiology

A

increased urinary output

60
Q

What lab balues would be expected from a burn patient 24-48 hours after a burn?

A

diuresis and low specific urine gravity

61
Q

Parkland Formula

A

4mL LR X body weight (kg) X % of body surface area burned = 24 hour total fluid replacement

62
Q

Application of parkland formula

A

1/2 of total 24 hour fluid replacement in first 8 hours

1/4 of total 24 hour fluid replacement in second 8 hours

1/4 of ttotal 24 hour fluid replacement in third 8 hours
