◉ What are the two main tracts of the urinary system? Answer:
Upper Tract: Kidneys and ureters; Lower Tract: Urinary bladder and
urethra.
◉ What is micturition? Answer: The process of urination.
◉ What stimulates the urge to void in adults? Answer: Stretch
receptors in the bladder wall activated at 250-450 mL.
◉ What is the normal urination pattern for adults? Answer:
Typically 4-10 times per day, with a minimum of every 6 hours.
◉ What factors can affect urinary elimination? Answer: Fluid intake,
muscle tone, psychosocial factors, pathological conditions, surgical
procedures, and medications.
◉ What is polyuria? Answer: Abnormally large urine output, often
caused by excessive fluid intake or diabetes.
,◉ What does oliguria indicate? Answer: Urine output less than 400
mL/day or 30 mL/hr, often due to fluid loss or renal issues.
◉ What is dysuria? Answer: Painful or difficult voiding, often caused
by conditions like stricture or UTI.
◉ What is urinary hesitancy? Answer: Delay or difficulty initiating
voiding, often accompanied by dysuria.
◉ What is the significance of nocturia? Answer: Voiding during
sleep hours, which can indicate underlying health issues.
◉ What is neurogenic bladder? Answer: A condition resulting from
impaired neurological function affecting bladder control.
◉ What are common diagnostic tests for urinary assessment?
Answer: Urinalysis, urine culture, postvoid residual, and 24-hour
urine test.
◉ What is the role of diuretics in urinary function? Answer:
Diuretics increase urine production.
◉ What is the purpose of catheter care? Answer: To prevent urinary
tract infections (UTIs) and ensure proper urinary drainage.
, ◉ What is the impact of aging on urinary function? Answer: Aging
can diminish excretory function, reduce renal blood flow, and
increase infection risk.
◉ What is the first void output expected from newborns? Answer:
First void within 24 hours, with an initial output of 15 mL/kg/day.
◉ What is the importance of psychosocial factors in urinary
elimination? Answer: Privacy, positioning, and environmental
factors can significantly influence urination patterns.
◉ What are the effects of anticholinergic medications on urinary
function? Answer: They can reduce urinary frequency and
incontinence by blocking detrusor muscle receptors.
◉ What is enuresis? Answer: Involuntary urine passing after the age
of control (around 5 years).
◉ What is urinary retention? Answer: The inability to completely
empty the bladder.
◉ What is the significance of a postvoid residual test? Answer: It
measures the amount of urine left in the bladder after voiding,
indicating retention issues.
