Urinary Tract Infection: A Case Study
introduction:
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect millions of people each year and are the second-most common type of infection in the body. Urinary tract infections are more common in women than men, however when men get UTIs they are often more serious and difficult .
Educate patient or caregiver about the importance of adequate intake, (e.g., 8 to 10 glasses of fluids daily). Instruct patient or caregiver on measures to help voiding (as described above). Instruct patient or caregiver on signs and symptoms of overdistended bladder (e.g., decreased or absent urine, frequency, hesitancy, urgency, lower abdominal distention, or discomfort). Instruct patient or caregiver on signs and symptoms of urinary tract infection (e.g., chills and fever, frequent urination or concentrated urine, and abdominal or back pain). Teach patient or caregiver to perform meatal care twice daily with soap and water and dry thoroughly. …show more content…
To reduce the risk of infection.
Teach patient to achieve an upright position on toilet if possible.
The work of a questionnaire to find out information patients.
There are several steps in the nursing care plan for urinary tract infections. The first step in this plan is to closely monitor the output as well as the input of the urine. The next step is to encourage the patient to drink plenty of fluids to aid in flushing out the infection. Next, listen to the complaints in regard to the infection from the patient and observe any changes that may occur in the patients mental status. Collaborate with the labs and reposition the patient every two to three hours. Monitor: The bow of the urine to change color, odor and urine patterns
Input and output every 8
hours
The results re urinalis
Rational: To identify the indications, the progress or the storage of the expected results. Give analgesics as needed and evaluate its success
Rational: Analgesics block the path of pain, thereby reducing the pain
Consul doctor if: Previous amber-yellow urine, dark orange, hazy or cloudy
Micturition pattern changes, as an example of heat such as burning during urination, a sense of urgency when urinating
Persistent pain or increasing pain
Rational: These findings may indicate further tissue damage and need more extensive checks, such as radiology examination if not previously done
Conclusion
Urinary tract infections are the most frequent bacterial infection in women. They occur most frequently between the ages of 16 and 35 years, with 10% of women getting an infection yearly and 60% having an infection at some point in their lives.[1][4] Recurrences are common, with nearly half of people getting a second infection within a year. Urinary tract infections occur four times more frequently in females than males
