Urinary retention

indwelling urinary catheter can be inserted for a long period with frequent changes between 4-6 weeks (Taylor, Lillis, LeMone, & Lynn, 2011). However, the Foley can also be a potential source for UTI and bacteriuria (Taylor et al., 2011). The necessity of reducing the patient’s period of time on a Foley and helping him or her to quickly regain normal bladder function is significant. Performing bladder training through clamping the urinary catheter is reported to decrease the frequency of urinary retention

Urination is controlled by a complex central nervous system mechanism that coordinates urine storage and release by the regulation of smooth muscle in the bladder and urethra. Bladder storage, emptying and coordinated urinary sphincter activity , are controlled by the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic nervous systems. Parasympathetic nerves in the spinal cord (S2-S4) act to contract the bladder and relax the urethra through the release of acetylcholine, which excites smooth muscle muscarinic

L: During my clinical experience, I was able to observe an intermittent catheterisation. E: Initially, the nurse explained to us why the procedure was being completed. The patient was experiencing urinary retention which is a result of the bladder’s inability to empty fully (Wood, 2014, p. 1118). Additionally, there was a doctor’s order for a specimen collection. First, the nurse began the process by prepping for the procedure, this entails explaining the procedure to the patient, cleaning the perineal

coffee. Later on, I started shadowing a certified nurse aide. She was in the process of preparing a resident for a bed bath(IC). The resident had a Foley catheter which the CNA emptied and cleaned. The catheter helped the resident with urinary retention. Urinary retention is when the bladder does not empty all the way or at all. It is caused by

The complexity of the Urinary Retention (UR) nursing diagnosis requires successful critical thinking nurse. The care protocols emphasize the development of an assertive nursing diagnosis.

There have been many studies performed in recent years over the effects of retainment. The reasoning behind why a student is being retained can be a big deciding factor on whether it will end with success or not. When a child is behind their peers because of age or numerous absences, retainment is an option for them. At an older level, kids have a higher rate of success than those who have been retained (Davis School District, 2011). When repeating a grade, they can have success the next year, and
