Students will learn more personal care skills as they read about elimination and their role in assisting. An emphasis on promoting privacy and dignity should be made, along with empathizing with residents. Students are given in-depth information on incontinence and how to help prevent it. Adhering to infection prevention measures is important and should be made an integral part of the discussion. A risk of infection is especially high with catheter care. Students need to be aware of this. Tests performed on urine vary from facility to facility. The chapter has an introduction to restorative care with the section on bladder retraining. A positive, helpful attitude should be encouraged. 1. Define important words in this chapter textbook pp Pronounce and define each of the key terms listed in the Learning Objective on pages Explain the structure and function of the urinary system textbook pp Sphincter Micturition Voiding Urinary incontinence
2 110 Display Transparency 16-1 the urinary system Review the functions of the urinary system: Elimination of waste products from the blood Maintenance of water balance in the body Regulation of the levels of electrolytes in the body Assistance in regulation of blood pressure 3. Discuss changes in the urinary system due to aging textbook p. 297 Review normal changes of aging: The kidneys do not filter blood as efficiently. Bladder muscle tone weakens. Bladder holds less urine, causing more frequent urination. Bladder may not empty completely, causing increased chance of infection. 4. List normal qualities of urine and identify signs and symptoms to report about urine textbook pp Discuss normal characteristics of urine: Light, pale yellow, or amber in color Clear or transparent Faint smell Adults produce about 1200 to 1500 ml of urine, although elderly may produce less. Review signs and symptoms of urine to report: Cloudy urine Dark or rust-colored urine Strong-, offensive- or fruity-smelling urine Pain, burning, or pressure when urinating Blood, pus, mucus, or discharge in urine Episodes of incontinence 5. List factors affecting urination and describe how to promote normal urination textbook pp workbook p. 96 Display Transparency 16-2 factors affecting urination Discuss the factors listed on the transparency: Growth and development Psychological factors Fluid intake Physical activity and exercise Personal habits Medications Disorders 6. Discuss common disorders of the urinary system textbook pp workbook p. 96 Pronounce and define the following key term: Urinary tract infection Review the following points about UTIs: Cause: entrance of bacteria into the bladder through the urethra Women are more susceptible than men. Symptoms: burning or pain with urination, blood in urine, frequency of and urgency with urination Prevention: drinking plenty of fluids and juices rich in Vitamin C, wiping from front to back after elimination, taking showers rather than baths Treatment: antibiotics Report cloudy, dark, or foul-smelling urine, burning or discomfort with urination, or frequent urination in small amounts. Chronic renal failure (CRF) Dialysis End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
3 111 Review the following points about CRF: Kidneys cannot filter waste products from the blood. Becomes worse over time Causes: diabetes, hypertension, chronic urinary tract infections, nephritis Initial signs and symptoms: unintended weight loss, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, headache, frequent hiccups, itching Dialysis is done when the kidneys are no longer able to perform their function. ESRD occurs when kidneys have failed and dialysis or transplantation is required to sustain life. Review the following points about urine retention: Inability to adequately empty the bladder Causes: surgery, obstruction, infection, disorders such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes, enlargement of prostate gland Symptoms: lower abdominal pain, painful urge but inability to urinate, distended bladder, abdominal swelling, frequent urge to urinate, difficulty starting to urinate, weak flow of urine, dribbling Treatment: medication and catheterization 7. Discuss reasons for incontinence textbook pp workbook pp Review causes of incontinence: Confinement to bed Illness Paralysis Circulatory or nervous system disorders Prostate problems Childbirth Emphasize that incontinence is not a normal part of aging and must be reported. Describe the different types of incontinence: Stress incontinence Urge incontinence Mixed incontinence Functional incontinence Overflow incontinence Remind students to be professional and positive when dealing with episodes of incontinence. Review the guidelines for preventing incontinence: Know routines, habits, and signs. Follow toileting schedules and the care plan. Answer call lights promptly. Offer bedpans or take residents to the bathroom often. Encourage fluids. Take daily walks near bathroom. Change wet or soiled incontinence briefs immediately. Change wet or soiled bed linens. Use bed protectors. Check incontinence briefs every two hours. Change wet or soiled clothing immediately. Give good skin care and perineal care. Provide privacy. Be calm, patient, and professional. Be reassuring and positive. 8. Describe catheters and related care textbook pp workbook p. 97 Straight catheter Indwelling catheter Condom catheter Remind students that NAs do not insert, irrigate, or remove catheters. Review guidelines for catheter care: Wear gloves. Do not touch tip of clamp to any other object. Do not let drainage spout touch graduate. Make sure drainage bag hangs lower than hips or bladder. Do not hang drainage bag from bedrail.
4 112 Keep drainage bag off floor. Keep catheter tubing from touching floor. Keep tubing straight. Keep genital area clean. When cleaning meatus, move in one direction, away from meatus. Report blood in urine, leaks, bag filling suddenly or not filling for several hours, pain, pressure, or odor. Secure tubing properly. Do not disconnect catheter during positioning. Do not re-attach disconnected tubing. Demonstration Demonstrate the following procedures: Providing catheter care Emptying a catheter drainage bag Applying a condom catheter Include all of the numbered steps in your demonstration. Have the students return the demonstration. Procedure checklists are located at the end of the Student Workbook. Distribute Handouts 16-1 changing drainage bag to leg bag 16-2 changing leg bag to drainage bag If these procedures are taught at your facility, go over the information on the handouts with students. 9. Explain how to collect different types of urine specimens textbook pp workbook pp Routine urine specimen Calculi Clean-catch specimen 24-hour urine specimen Discuss the following points about urine specimens: Identify the resident. Labeling and storing specimens correctly is important. Discuss what urine straining is. Demonstrate how to strain urine if it is a requirement at your facility. Demonstration Demonstrate the following procedures: Collecting a routine urine specimen. Collecting a clean-catch (mid-stream) urine specimen Collecting a 24-hour urine specimen Include all of the numbered steps in your demonstration. Have the students return the demonstration.

Include all of the numbered steps in your demonstration. Have the students return the demonstration. Procedure checklists are located at the end of the Student Workbook. 11. Explain guidelines for assisting with bladder retraining textbook pp workbook p. 98 Discuss how NAs may assist in bladder retraining, including: Explain plan to resident. Follow plan. Follow Standard Precautions. Observe residents elimination habits. Keep a record of elimination, including episodes of incontinence. Offer toileting assistance before and after procedures. Answer call lights promptly. Provide privacy and do not rush resident. Help with perineal care. Encourage fluids. Have resident lean forward to put pressure on the bladder.
