The urinary system is responsible for the formation and elimination of urine, regulating fluid balance and excretion of waste.

Common tests for assessing urinary function include urinalysis, urine culture, and imaging studies.

Factors affecting urinary elimination include hydration level, medication, and psychological state.

Normal urine features include pale yellow color and clear appearance, while abnormal urine may indicate disease or infection.

Nurses can promote normal urinary elimination through patient education, encouraging fluid intake, and monitoring bladder function.

A catheter that remains inside the bladder, often with a balloon to hold it in place.

Regular changes of catheters every 4-6 weeks in long-term use to minimize risk of infection.

A catheter system that prevents contamination and maintains a sterile pathway for urine drainage.

A procedure using normal saline to flush the bladder, especially after surgery to remove clots.

The most common complication associated with catheter use; requires careful monitoring.

Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection, an infection from catheter use.

A slimy layer formed by bacteria on surfaces, including catheters.

Issues like bladder spasms, pain, and kidney damage from long-term catheter use.

Guidelines for preventing infections related to catheter use.

Surgical procedure to redirect urine flow, either temporary or permanent.

A urinary diversion that allows patient control over urination, e.g., neobladder.

A permanent diversion without control over urine flow, e.g., ureterostomy.

Small tubes for draining urine from the renal pelvis due to obstruction.

Methods used to prevent infection spread, especially UTIs.

Nighttime incontinence, common in children and some adults.

How incontinence affects self-image and cultural views.

Tracking fluid intake and urine output for assessment.

Reference ranges for urine tests indicating health status.

Diagnostic procedures like x-rays and ultrasounds for urinary issues.

Normal urine should be pale straw to amber and transparent.

Signs like color changes, cloudiness, or strong odor indicating possible issues.

A foul odor is considered abnormal and may indicate an issue.

All specimens must be labeled and preserved according to lab protocols.

Signed consent is required before diagnostic examinations according to agency policy.

Assess intake and output (I&O), voiding, urine, and encourage fluids post-procedure.

Determine if patient interventions are effective based on expected outcomes and changes in symptoms.

The organs that include the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

The functional units of the kidneys responsible for filtration.

A cluster of capillaries in the nephron that filters blood.

A hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production.

A hormone system regulating blood pressure through fluid balance.

Tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.

A distensible organ that stores urine before elimination.

The tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
