NSE 211: Week 11 || All Accurately solved.
Bacteremia correct answers The presence of bacteria in the blood. From a nursing perspective, it
is essential to monitor for signs of systemic infection and sepsis, administer prescribed
antibiotics, and maintain aseptic techniques during invasive procedures to prevent bacteremia.
Bacteriuria correct answers The presence of bacteria in the urine. Nurses should be vigilant for
symptoms of urinary tract infections, educate patients on proper hygiene, and ensure accurate
collection of urine samples for testing.
Catheter-associated UTI (CAUTI) correct answers A urinary tract infection that occurs in a
person with a urinary catheter. Nursing care focuses on preventing CAUTI by maintaining
catheter hygiene, ensuring proper catheter care, and advocating for early removal of the catheter
when appropriate.
Catheterization correct answers The process of inserting a catheter into the bladder. Nurses must
use aseptic technique to reduce the risk of infection and ensure patient comfort and dignity
during the procedure.
Cystitis correct answers Inflammation of the bladder, often due to infection. Nursing
management includes educating patients about urinary hygiene, encouraging fluid intake, and
providing comfort measures for symptoms like pelvic pain and urgency.
Dysuria correct answers Painful or difficult urination. Nurses should assess for potential causes,
educate patients about treatment and prevention strategies, and provide pain management as
needed.
Hematuria correct answers The presence of blood in the urine. It requires careful assessment to
determine the underlying cause. Nurses should monitor vital signs, urine characteristics, and
patient symptoms, and educate patients about the importance of follow-up testing.
Micturition correct answers The act of passing urine. In nursing, it involves monitoring urinary
patterns, assisting patients with toileting, and educating about healthy bladder habits.
Nephrostomy correct answers A surgical procedure to create an opening between the kidney and
the skin for urine drainage. Nursing care includes monitoring the nephrostomy site, ensuring
patency of the drainage system, and educating the patient about site care.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises (PFMEs) correct answers Exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor
muscles. Nurses can teach patients how to perform these exercises, which are especially
beneficial for those with urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
Postvoid Residual (PVR) correct answers The amount of urine left in the bladder after urination.
Nurses may assess PVR using bladder scanning to evaluate for urinary retention and bladder
emptying problems.
, Pyelonephritis correct answers A type of urinary tract infection that affects the kidneys. Nursing
care includes administering prescribed antibiotics, providing pain relief, and educating patients
about completing the full course of antibiotics and follow-up care.
Renin correct answers An enzyme released by the kidneys that regulates blood pressure. Nurses
should monitor blood pressure and educate patients about medications and lifestyle changes that
affect renin levels and blood pressure.
Suprapubic Catheterization correct answers The placement of a urinary catheter through the
abdomen directly into the bladder. Nurses manage the care of the catheter site, monitor for signs
of infection, and educate patients on catheter care.
Ureterostomy correct answers A surgical procedure that creates an opening in the abdominal
wall to divert urine away from the bladder. Nursing care involves managing the stoma, educating
the patient on stoma care, and monitoring for complications.
Urinary Incontinence (UI) correct answers The involuntary loss of urine. Nurses play a key role
in assessing the type and severity of incontinence, providing management strategies, and offering
support and education to patients.
Urinary Retention correct answers The inability to fully empty the bladder. Nursing care includes
monitoring bladder function, managing catheterization if needed, and educating patients about
factors that may contribute to retention.
Urination Process correct answers Coordination of muscular, nervous, and urinary systems:
bladder fills and stretches walls, sensory nerves signal brain, brain signals relaxation of urinary
sphincter and bladder muscle contraction, facilitating urine flow through urethra
Factors Influencing Urinary Elimination correct answers Fluid and dietary intake, medications,
age, psychological factors, physical activity: also impacted by urinary incontinence, urinary
retention, alterations in micturition patterns
Common Alterations in Urinary Elimination correct answers Dysuria: painful urination,
Hematuria: blood in urine, Urinary Incontinence: involuntary urine loss, Urinary Retention:
inability to empty bladder
Renal Replacement Therapy Modalities correct answers Dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal
dialysis, mechanically removes waste and excess fluid, Kidney Transplantation: surgical
placement of a healthy donor kidney
Nursing Health History for Urinary Problems correct answers Include current symptoms like
dysuria or hematuria, medical history of kidney or bladder issues, lifestyle factors, changes in
urinary patterns or characteristics
Nursing Diagnoses for Urinary Alterations correct answers Impaired Urinary Elimination, Risk
for Infection: related to bacteriuria or CAUTI, Urinary Incontinence
