Study Notes
Nursing Diagnoses Related to Urinary Elimination
- Impaired Urinary Elimination is supported by subjective data, such as complaints of painful urination.
- Ineffective Coping is indicated for a patient experiencing fatigue and discouragement after multiple urinary tract infections.
Objective Data for Nursing Diagnoses
- Toileting Self-Care Deficit can be determined from objective data, including the inability to perform toileting tasks and the presence of left-sided weakness.
- Risk for Infection linked to urinary retention can be individualized with evidence like bladder distention and residual urine on a bladder scan.
- Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity is associated with urinary incontinence as a significant risk factor.
Collaboration in Patient Care
- For patients with stress incontinence, collaboration with a nurse continence specialist is vital for pelvic floor exercise teaching.
Goals and Outcomes in Nursing Care
- Goals for patients facing urinary elimination changes focus on:
- Maintaining normal elimination patterns
- Preventing related risks
- Coping with altered elimination patterns
- A measurable goal for a patient with urinary retention is to spontaneously empty the bladder completely without assistance within 12 hours after treatment.
Nursing Diagnosis and Patient Adjustment
- The nursing diagnosis Risk for Ineffective Coping is addressed by the goal of the patient verbalizing adjustment to their plan of care within 24 hours of treatment initiation.
NOC Classification
- The NOC category Urinary Elimination indicates the selection of the nursing diagnosis Impaired Urinary Elimination for the patient.
Realistic Goals Post-Surgery
- For an adult female patient unable to clean herself post-abdominal surgery, a realistic goal is to demonstrate safe and adequate toileting tasks within two days after being able to ambulate safely.
