With Complete Solutions
colostomy
Ileostomy
Foley catheter
,indwelling catheter inserted through the urethra and into the
bladder that includes a collection system allowing urine to be
drained into a bag; the catheter can remain in place for an
extended period; sterile technique used; assess for allergies
suprapubic catheter
catheter inserted into the bladder through a small abdominal
incision above the pubic area
nephrostomy tube
small tubes tunneled through the skin into the renal pelvis;
placed to drain the renal pelvis when the ureter is obstructed
ileal conduit
urinary diversion in which the ureters are connected to the ileum
with a stoma created on the abdominal wall
Indiana pouch
continent urinary diversion; must be intermittently catheterized
continuous bladder irrigation
strict intake and output; regulate flow according to the provider
order; empty catheter bag before beginning the irrigation to
monitor accurate output
peritoneal dialysis
removes waste from the body; monitor catheter site for signs and
symptoms of an infection; monitor intake and output.
hemodialysis
, the process by which waste products are filtered directly from
the patient's blood; the site is ONLY for dialysis; LIMB alert on
the side with arteriovenous fistula or graft.
arteriovenous fistula
type of vascular access for dialysis; created by surgically
connecting an artery to a vein
arteriovenous graft
type of surgically created vascular access for dialysis by which a
piece of biologic, semibiologic, or synthetic graft material
connects the patient's artery to a vein
peristalsis
under control of the nervous system; contractions occur every 3-
12 minutes; mass peristalsis sweeps occur one to four times
every 24 hours; 1/3 to 1/2 of food waste is excreted in stool
within 24 hours
constipation
infrequent or incomplete bowel movements characterized by
hardened, dry stool that is difficult to pass
impaction
a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a
person cannot expel
diarrhea
an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid,
