    Study Notes

    Urinary Elimination and Care Summary

    • Venipuncture site care involves routine inspection and documentation of appearance, with dressing changes every 24 to 72 hours.
    • Infiltration of IV fluids into tissues instead of the vein can lead to symptoms such as coolness, pallor, and edema.
    • Functions of the urinary system include filtering blood, removing waste products, regulating electrolytes, and assisting in acid-base balance.
    • Normal urinary output ranges from 1 to 3 L per 24 hours, with an acceptable minimal hourly output of 30 ml.
    • Alterations in urinary output include oliguria, polyuria, anuria, dysuria, nocturia, and incontinence.
    • Characteristics of urine, such as color, clarity, odor, specific gravity, and pH, provide indications of the body's hydration and health status.
    • Bedpans and urinals are used for urinary elimination, with specific care instructions for different patient needs and conditions.
    • Urinary catheters come in various types, and their insertion, care, and removal are sterile procedures that require close monitoring.
    • Urinary diversion involves surgically redirecting urine flow, often necessary when the bladder is removed or bypassed due to medical conditions.
    • Collecting urine specimens involves different types, including simple, clean-catch midstream, from indwelling catheters, 24-hour specimens, and strained specimens.
    • Incontinence with urinary diversions poses challenges for skin care, requiring careful attention to prevent skin issues.
    • Various types of urine specimens, such as simple, clean-catch, from indwelling catheters, 24-hour, and strained, serve different diagnostic purposes and require specific collection methods.
