Study Notes
Retention Issues
- Retention issues in older adults may happen due to neurological changes
- Not everyone experiences retention issues
- Retention may be indicated by the need for frequent urination
Catheter
- A urine catheter is placed through the stoma
- A Foley catheter is a type of urinary catheter
- The Foley catheter is placed in the bladder and has a balloon that inflates to help secure the catheter
Stoma Care
- The stoma should be kept dry and clean to avoid infection
- A large tube may be needed for urination
- The large tube may be called a "big tubing"
Bowel Management
- A big tube, such as a Foley catheter, increases the risk of infection
- The Foley catheter is placed in the bladder through the stoma
- A urinary catheter is inserted into the urethra, usually to help drain urine from the body
- Bowel movements involve the movement of material in the intestines
- Diarrhea can be caused by frequent bowel movements
- Diarrhea can lead to dehydration and skin breakdown
- Enemas can be used to help with bowel movement
Post-Operative Care
- Post-operative care involves managing pain with drugs or methods including ice packs
- Refusing to eat after surgery can lead to infection, and may be a sign of discomfort or illness.
- Rocking back and forth may be a sign of discomfort or illness.
Other Concerns
- Older adults are at risk for skin breakdown due to a variety of factors, such as frailty and immobility.
- The use of a Foley catheter increases the risk of injury or infection
- The use of a Foley catheter increases the risk of skin breakdown
General Points
- The text discusses a variety of topics about older adults and their healthcare needs
- The text is written in fragmented sentences and uses abbreviations and misspellings.
Urinary Catheter Related Issues
- Potential for skin breakdown due to the catheter
- Catheter can be a source of infection
- Urinary retention issues are common
- In older adults, neurological changes related to urinary function might occur
Stoma and Catheter
- Ynimiskhadder catheter is placed in the stoma
- Urine exits through the stoma
- Straight tubing is removed after the procedure
- Large tubing is used after removal of the straight tubing
- Higher risk of infection when using a Foley bag
Postoperative Considerations
- Potential for constipation following surgery
- Diarrhea can be caused by chewing movements
- Enemas can be used to manage bowel movements
- Stool consistency can vary from liquid to formed
- Encourage hydration by providing fluids
Other Notes
- The text refers to "Mcsifiction" but provides no further details
- The text mentions "fi'stofigurine" and "Jurine" but these terms are not defined
- The terms "abused from catheter" and "Ibefrom" are unclear and require further clarification
