Study Notes
Urinary Tract Infections
- Foul-smelling urine can be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a risk factor for UTIs because it causes urinary stasis.
- A high-purine diet is associated with renal calculi, not UTIs.
Urinary Tract Infection Prevention
- Maintaining adequate fluid intake is a key recommendation for preventing UTIs.
- Wearing underwear made of synthetic material like nylon is not a recommended preventative measure.
Urinary Incontinence
- Kegel exercises are often recommended for women with stress incontinence.
- Stress incontinence is a condition where urine leaks when sneezing or laughing.
- Incontinence pads do not resolve the problem of stress incontinence.
Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD)
- A dry mucous membrane is a clinical sign of dehydration.
- FVD occurs when the loss of extracellular fluid (ECF) volume exceeds the intake of fluids.
- A 1 lb weight loss can be associated with dehydration but is not a confirming sign.
- Engorged neck veins and a bounding pulse are signs of fluid overload, not FVD.
- FVD can lead to increased BUN and Creatinine levels.
- Lasix (furosemide) is a diuretic that can exacerbate FVD.
Hyperkalemia
- Hyperkalemia is a condition where the potassium level in the blood is above 5.7 mEq/L.
- Frequent episodes of diarrhea, vomiting, and administration of corticosteroids contribute to hypokaleimia, not hyperkalemia.
- Potassium-sparing diuretics can cause hyperkalemia by conserving potassium in the body.
- Hyperkalemia can be detected on an ECG by the presence of a tall, peaked T wave.
- A prolonged QT interval on an ECG indicates a delay in conduction between the atria and ventricles.
- A U wave and a depressed ST segment on an ECG are present with hypokalemia.
- Lasix is used to treat hyperkalemia because it is a potassium-wasting diuretic.
Hyponatremia
- Hypervolemic hyponatremia occurs when the body's water volume increases but sodium levels remain the same.
- Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH) can lead to hypervolemic hyponatremia because ADH retains water in the body, diluting sodium.
Calcium Imbalance
- A calcium level of 7.2 mg/dl is considered low.
