Fundamentals: Urinary Elimination
30 ml/hr - ANS-what is the measurement for intake and output?
a cloudy sediment of white blood cells could indicate ... - ANS-infection
a kidney stone broke up and passed - ANS-what does a sand sediment in urine indicate?
ammonia - ANS-what is the normal odor of urine?
anuria - ANS-absence of urine formation
beefy red - ANS-what does a healthy stoma look like?
bladder - ANS-reservoir for urine until the urge to urinate develops
bladder damage/disfunction, dehydration - ANS-what would it mean if they weren't urinating as
much as they should?
bladder scanner - ANS-will give you a reading of how much urine is still in the bladder, nursing
measure, dont need order for this
blood urea nitrogen - ANS-amount of urea nitrogen in the blood, urea is formed in liver as end
product of protein metabolism, relates to metabolic function of the liver and excretory function of
kidneys
10-20 mg/dL
consequences of urinary retention - ANS-pressure/discomfort/pain, tenderness over the
symphysis pubis, restlessness, diaphoresis
could be a sign of diabetes or infection - ANS-what could it mean if they had to urinate
frequently?
Cr (creatinine) - ANS-excreted by kidneys - affected little by dehydration, hepatic function
culture and specificity - ANS-growth in a medium to detect specific bacteria and sensitivity to
antibiotics
deglutition - ANS-the act of swallowing
dehydration and concentrated - ANS-what does dark amber urine indicate?
