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
