the smooth muscle layers of the bladder

46
Q

Trigone

a triangular area at the base of the bladder marked by the ureter openings at the posterior corners and the opening of the urethra at the anterior corner

47
Q

Enuresis

A

bed-wetting; involuntary passing of urine in children after bladder control is achieved

48
Q

Diuretics

A

Drugs that increase urine output

49
Q

Polyuria

A

the production of large amounts of urine by the kidneys without an increased fluid intake

50
Q

Polydipsia

A

excessive thirst

51
Q

Oliguria

A

Oliguria is low urine output, usually less than 500 mL a day or 30 mL an hour for an adult.

52

voiding two or more times at night

55
Q

Urinary urgency

A

56
Q

Urinary incontinence

A

a temporary or permanent inability of the external sphincter muscles to control the flow of urine from the bladder

57
Q

urinary retention

A

the accumulation of urine in the bladder and inability of the bladder to empty itself

58
Q

Dysuria

A

painful or difficult voiding

59
Q

Neurogenic bladder

A

interference with the normal mechanisms of urine elimination in which the client does not perceive bladder fullness and is unable to control the urinary sphincters; the result of impaired neurologic function

60
Q

Residual urine

A

Residual urine (urine remaining in the bladder following voiding) is normally 50 to 100 mL

61
Q

Blood urea nitrogen

A

a measure of blood level of urea, the end product of protein metabolism. Elevated levels means renal failure

62
Q

Creatinine clearance

A

a test uses 24-hour urine and serum creatinine levels to determine the glomerular filtration rate, a sensitive indicator of renal function. Elevated levels means renal failure

63
Q

Suprapubic Catheter

A

an indwelling catheter that has been surgically placed in the bladder through the abdominal wall, either with or without a urethrally placed catheter

64
Q

body wastes and excess fluid

67
Q

Flatus

A

70
Q

71
Q

74
Q

75
Q

Constipation

A

passage of small, dry, hard stool or passage of no stool for a period of time

76
Q

Enema

A

used most often as a treatment for constipation, it distends the intestine and sometimes irritates the intestinal mucosa, thereby increasing peristalsis and the excretion of feces and flatus

77
Q

Fecal Impaction

A

a mass or collection of hardened, putty-like feces in the folds of the rectum

78
Q

Diarrhea

A

refers to the passage of liquid feces and an increased fre- quency of defecation.

79
Q

Fecal incontinence

A

loss of voluntary ability to control fecal and gaseous discharges through the anal sphincter

80
Q

A

a tube that is placed surgically or by laparoscopy through the abdominal wall into the jejunum for long-term nutritional support

81
Q

Ileostomy

A

a colostomy that generally empties from the distal end of the small intestine
