Nephron, Urinary Incontinence, Wound
Healing, Fluid and Electrolyte
Imbalances, Theories of Nursing
Glomerulus Clusters of capillaries in each nephron
Aldosterone Hormone that causes retention of water, resulting in increased blood pressure
Erythropoietin Stimulates the production and maturation of red blood cells
Angiosten 11 Helps vasodilation and stimulates the production of aldosterone
Antidiuretic hormone Helps regulate and balance water in the body
Angiotensin II Causes vasoconstriction and stimulates the release of aldosterone
Backflow preventer Prevents the backward flow of urine into the ureters
Dribbling The leakage of urine despite voluntary control of urination
Urgency The feeling of the need to void immediately
Hesitancy Difficulty initiating urination in the urethra
Striated muscles Responsible for the voluntary control of the flow of urine
Kidneys Erythropoietin is administered because of a dysfunction of this organ
Kidneys This organ produces erythropoietin
Prostaglandin E Substance secreted by the kidneys that helps control blood pressure via
vasodilation
Transient urinary incontinence A cause of transient urinary incontinence
Glomerular injury Condition that often causes large proteins to be present in urine
, Oliguria Decreased urine output despite normal intake
Dysuria Pain or burning during urination
Hematuria Presence of blood in urine
Reversible causes Best nursing intervention for a patient with new onset transient
incontinence
Transient incontinence Type of incontinence most likely to be associated with a UTI
Orthotopic neobladder Surgical urinary diversion that allows for normal voiding
Nocturia, High post void residual volume, distended bladder on palpation Characteristics
associated with overflow urinary incontinence
Anemia Condition that may be a result of chronic kidney disease and decreased
erythropoietin production
Excessive alcohol intake Factor that may increase urine production
Antidiuretic hormone (ADA) Increased hormonal secretion that leads to oliguria
Increased urinary production Hormonal change in the urinary system that a pregnant woman
might experience
Aldosterone Hormonal release stimulated by the renin-angiotensin system
Reflex urinary incontinence Type of urinary incontinence that occurs from spinal cord damage
Female urethra Approximate length of the average adult female urethra
Overflow urinary incontinence Type of incontinence treated with timed voiding and double
voiding
Reflex urinary incontinence Type of incontinence associated with risk of increased blood
pressure, pulse rate, and diaphoresis
Autonomic dysreflexia Overreaction of the autonomic nervous system to stimulation
Cystitis Inflammation and/or irritation of the bladder
Pyelonephritis Upper urinary tract infection
Urgency, frequency, difficulty holding urine once the urge to void occurs Characteristics
associated with urge urinary incontinence
