Study Notes
Urinary Care Goals
- A short-term goal in urinary care is to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- A long-term goal in urinary care is to restore normal urinary elimination patterns
Catheterization
- The main purpose of an indwelling catheter is to facilitate urinary drainage
- Silicone catheters are indicated for long-term use
- Encrustation or debris on the catheter should be cleaned and removed
Prevention of Healthcare-Associated Infections
- Keeping the catheter bag below the level of the bladder helps prevent healthcare-associated infections, specifically UTIs
- Proper hand hygiene and aseptic technique are essential for preventing infections during urinary catheterization insertion
- Removing the catheter as soon as possible is a key aspect of preventing healthcare-associated infections
Urinary Catheterization Insertion
- A key consideration during urinary catheterization insertion is the use of sterile gloves and aseptic technique
- The catheter should be inserted slowly and gently to prevent urethral trauma
Achieving Long-term Goals
- Educational programs for patients and caregivers are essential for achieving long-term goals in urinary care
- Encouraging patients to drink plenty of fluids helps achieve long-term goals in urinary care
- Regular monitoring and evaluation of urinary elimination patterns are key aspects of achieving long-term goals in urinary care
Evaluating Outcomes
- The focus when evaluating outcomes in urinary care should be on the patient's ability to maintain continence and prevent UTIs
