Cystoscopy for recurrent/chronic uti'sID's abnormalities bladder calculi, diverticuli, urethral strictures & foreign bodies, & trabeculation-abnormal thickening of the bladder walls due to retention & obstruction
Nursing Diagnosis for Cystitis Acute Pain r/t bladder spasms, Deficient Knowledge, Urge urinary incontinence, Risk or impaired Skin integrity. Collaborative: Risk for Sepsis
Antimicrobials Drug Therapy for UTI Sulfonamides: Septra, Bactrim *3 days-21 days, LT for Chronic UTI, TMP:older pt recurrent UTI's after intercourse, Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin) urinary antiseptic, Estrogen: intravaginal/urethral horm. post menopausal

Management Urethral Strictures Dilation of urethra stricture: temporary, Urethroplasty: remove affected area w/ or w/o grafting, Larger opening, may need to repeat procedures
Urinary Incontinence INVOLUNTARY loss of urine, Normal bladder needs to contract & Urethra need to relax, Stress incontinene most common
Stress Incontinence Small amounts- unable to tighten urethra enough, common after childbith, Kegel's: vaginal pelvic floor muscles thin and weakened
Urge Incontinence bladder contractions, continence override signal
Drugs that irritate bladder (Urge Incontinence) Caffeine, Artificial Sweetners, ETOH, Citric INtake (juices, fruits), Diuretics, Nicotine
Mixed Incontinence Stress & Urge, Mostly found in older women
Overflow (Reflex) Incontinence Overdistended bladder, Leaking, Underactive bladder, obstructions, neurological impairment
Functional Incontinence Cognitive impairment, Dementia
Nursing Dx Stress Incontinence r/t weak pelvic muscles & structural support
Nursing Dx: Urge Incontinence r/t decreased bladder capacity, bladder spasms, diet, & neuro impairment,
Nursing Dx: Overflow (Reflex) Incontinence r/t Neuro Impairment
Nursing Dx: Functional Incontinence r/t impaired cognition or neuro limitations
Nursing Dx: Mixed/Total Incontinence r/t MANY CAUSES
Additional Nursing Dx for Incontinence Social Isolation, Risk For Impaired Skin Integrity, Disturbed Body Image, Risk For Infection
Interventions: Stress Incontinence Diary, Exercise, Kegels, Nutrition: wt. loss, avoid bladder irritating liquids, fruits, Drug Therapy: Estrogen

Surgical Interventions Reposition bladder & urethra, often have a suprapubic cath in place until can urinate w/o residual volume >50ml
Bladder Training vs Habit Training Improve bladder function for those w/URGE incontinence vs Establishing a predictable pattern for those w/FUNCTIONAL incontinence
Interventions for Urge Incontinence To Prevent/manage Urge, Drug Therapy: Anticholinergis- Propantheline (Pro-banthine), oxybutynin (Ditropan), Tolterodine (Detrol), SE Block Stim of bladder contraction, Tricyclic Antidepressants w/ACh Activity Imipramine (Tofranil) Nortriptyline

Interventions for REFLEX (Overflow) Incontinence Expected Outcome: Achieve Continence, Surgery: prostate removal or genital prolapse repair,
Drug Therapy for REFLEX Incontinence Cholinergic (short-term), Bethenechol Chloride: Urecholine, impacts on bladder tone Increases bladder pressure
Behavioral Interventions for Reflex Incontinence Bladder Compression: Crede Method, Valsala, Double Voiding, Splinting, & Intermittent Self Catheterization
Crede Method Tugging pubic hair, Massage
Valsalva Deeper breathes, exhale (pressure toward bladder)
Double-Voiding Void, repeat in 3-5 minutes

Surgical Procedures Type of surgery dependent on stage of cancer, CYSTECTOMY is the best chance of cure for larger cancers
Ureterostomies divert directly through the skin surface thru a ureteral skin opening (stoma). After ureterostomy, the pt must wear a pouch
Conduits collect urine in a portion of the intestine, which is then opened onto the skin surface as a stoma. Must wear a pouch.
Sigmoidostomies Divert urine to the large intestine, so NO STOMA is required. The pt excretes urine w/bm's, bowel incontinence may occur.
Ileal resevoirs Divert urine into a surgically created pouch or pocket that functions as a bladder. The stoma is continent and the pt removes urine by regular catheterization.
Post Op Care After Ostomy assess condition of stoma, Kock's pouch, penrose drain removes lymphatic fluid or other secretions, may eed to irrigate to ensure patency, No sensation of bladder fullness, need to learn new cues for voiding, prescibed times or neobladder pressure
Teaching Care of Ostomy Drugs, Nutrition, Stoma, Collection Device, Cath, Observe return demo from pt/caregiver, Men:need to sit to urinate (sigmoid) and impotence after surgery, Empty, b4 going out to any function
