NURS 2571 P2 The Concept of EliminationThe Concept of Elimination
Includes all of the processes the body uses to get rid of waste products. This can be
accomplished through the urinary, gastrointestinal, respiratory and/or integumentary
system. In this module, we will focus on factors that may cause alteration to urinary
and/or gastrointestinal elimination.
There are three major categories associated with elimination.
A. Control
B. Retention
C. Discomfort
Can you think of conditions (exemplars) in the above categories? What if you lose the ability
to control urinary or bowel elimination?
Normal urinary and bowel elimination requires normal anatomical structures (see your
