6. Is it normal for mucus to appear in the urine of a patient with an ileal conduit?

Explanation

p. 1517

Submit
7. As one ages is there an increase or decrease in the sensation of thirst?

Explanation

As one ages, there is typically a decrease in the sensation of thirst. This is due to various factors such as a decrease in the body's ability to conserve water, a decrease in the number of thirst receptors in the brain, and a decrease in the body's overall water content. Additionally, older adults may not feel thirsty even when they are dehydrated, which can put them at a higher risk for dehydration. Therefore, it is important for older individuals to be mindful of their fluid intake and drink water regularly, even if they do not feel thirsty.

Submit
8. A nurse can test urine for the presence of glucose, blood, protein, bilirubin, and bacteria.

Explanation

p. 1497

Submit
9. Surgery is the first line of therapy for urinary incontience

Explanation

Noninvasive, low-risk vehavioural interventions are the first line of therapy. (p. 1507)

Submit
10. The involuntary losso fo urine that occurs soon after feeling an urgent need to void is called:

Explanation

Urge incontinence is the correct answer because it refers to the involuntary loss of urine that happens after feeling a strong and sudden urge to urinate. This condition is often caused by an overactive bladder, where the bladder muscles contract too frequently or unexpectedly. It can be triggered by various factors such as certain medications, urinary tract infections, or neurological conditions. Urge incontinence is different from stress incontinence, which is the leakage of urine during physical activities or when pressure is exerted on the bladder. Mixed incontinence refers to a combination of both urge and stress incontinence. Overflow incontinence is the inability to completely empty the bladder, resulting in constant dribbling or frequent leakage.

Submit
11. Patients can be taught to insert and remove intermittent catheterse themselves

Explanation

p. 1509

Submit
12. True or False:
When collecting a urine sample, the first voided urine of the day is not collected because it is considered not to be fresh urine.

Explanation

The first voided urine of the day is not collected because it is considered not to be fresh urine. This is because overnight, urine can accumulate in the bladder and mix with any remaining urine from the previous day, which may affect the accuracy of certain tests. Therefore, it is recommended to collect a midstream urine sample after discarding the first portion to ensure a more accurate representation of the current urine composition.

Submit

Explanation

p. 1491

Submit
25. True or False:
Most people void during sleeping hours

Explanation

This statement is false. Most people do not void (urinate) during their sleeping hours. The body typically reduces urine production and increases the production of an antidiuretic hormone called vasopressin at night, which helps in reducing the need to urinate during sleep. However, some individuals may have medical conditions or habits that cause them to wake up and void during the night. Overall, it is not a common occurrence for most people.

Submit

Explanation

p. 1491

Submit
27. When assessing a patient's urine, check all of the following, but do not note:

Explanation

p. 1492

Submit
28. The surgical creation of an alternate route for excretion of urine is called

Explanation

Urinary diversion refers to the surgical procedure that creates an alternative pathway for the excretion of urine. This procedure is typically performed when the normal route for urine excretion is blocked or damaged, such as in cases of bladder cancer or urinary tract obstruction. Urinary diversion can involve rerouting the urine to a stoma, a surgically created opening on the abdominal wall, or creating a new bladder using a segment of the intestine. This allows the urine to bypass the affected organs and be excreted through a different route.

Submit
29. What type of incontience is it when a patient has a broken leg which prevents them from getting to the bathroom.

Explanation

p. 1507

Submit
30. The higher the number on the urometer the lower the urine concentration and specific gravity.

Explanation

p. 1499

Submit
31. When higher nerve centers develop early in life, the _____ control of micturation develops.

Explanation

When higher nerve centers develop early in life, the voluntary control of micturation develops. This means that as the brain and nervous system develop, an individual gains the ability to consciously control the process of urination. This control allows them to hold in urine when necessary and release it at appropriate times. This development of voluntary control is an important milestone in a child's development and is typically achieved during early childhood.

Submit
32. What is it called when urine is produced normally but is not excreted completely from the bladder?

Explanation

p. 1488

Submit
33. Caffeine-containing beverages, such as soda, coffee, and tea, have a ____ effect

Explanation

p. 1489

Submit
34. Weakening of which muscles is a common cause of urinary incontinence.

Explanation

Weakness in the pelvic floor muscles can lead to urinary incontinence. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the bladder and controlling the release of urine. When these muscles are weakened, they may not be able to properly hold urine, resulting in leakage or urinary incontinence. Therefore, weakness in the pelvic floor muscles is a common cause of urinary incontinence.

Submit
35. What is the most common organismal cause of urinary tract infections?

Explanation

p. 1504

Submit
36. A culture and sensitivity (C&S) is considered positive if it shows at least 10,000 organisms per mL of urine.

Explanation

A C&S would be considered positive if it showed at least 100,000 organisms per mL

Explanation

p. 1505

Submit
38. Give the two names of the catheter used to drain the bladder for short periods of time (5 to 10 minutes)

Explanation

p. 1509

Submit
39. This type of catheter is used for long-term use and is surgically inserted through a small incision above the pubic area; it is often used due to urethra injury or blockage occurs.

Explanation

p. 1509

Submit
40. Catheter lumens are graded on a:

Explanation

The correct answer is French (F) scale. The French scale is used to measure the diameter of catheter lumens. It is a numerical scale that indicates the size of the catheter, with larger numbers representing larger diameters. The Credes scale is not related to catheter lumens, but rather refers to a technique used in urology to assist with bladder emptying. The Kegel scale is also unrelated to catheter lumens, but instead refers to exercises used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, the correct answer is the French (F) scale.

Submit
41. Anuria is a 24-hour urine output that is less than ____ mL

Explanation

p. 1491

Submit
42. With micturation, the pressure within the bladder is _____ to the the pressure with the bladder is filling.

p. 1488

Submit
44. Drugs known to be ______ are capable of causing kidney damage

Explanation

p. 1490

Submit
45. What type of medication can lighten the colour of urine to pale yellow?

Explanation

Diuretics are medications that increase the production of urine. They work by causing the kidneys to remove excess water and salt from the body. This increased urine production can dilute the concentration of substances in the urine, resulting in a lighter color. Therefore, diuretics can lighten the color of urine to pale yellow.

Submit
46. Which of the following is synonymous with a 24-hour output of less than 50 mL of urine?

Explanation

The correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all of the options listed - renal failure, kidney shutdown, and anuria - are synonymous with a 24-hour output of less than 50 mL of urine. Renal failure refers to the inability of the kidneys to properly filter waste from the blood, resulting in decreased urine output. Kidney shutdown is another way to describe the same condition, where the kidneys cease to function effectively. Anuria specifically refers to the absence of urine production. Therefore, all three terms are interchangeable in this context.

Submit
47. Can the bladder be palpated when empty? Percussed?

Explanation

Explanation

A sterile specimen is obtained by catheterizing the patient's bladder or using a foley catheter. This technique ensures that the sample is free from contamination and is suitable for diagnostic purposes where a high level of accuracy is required. It is commonly used in situations where the patient cannot provide a clean-catch specimen or when there is a need to directly access the bladder.

Submit
56. An antiparkinson drug and injectable iron compounds can turn urine into which two colours?

Explanation

p. 1490

Submit
57. A _____  _____ is a cutaneous urinary diversion. It involves a surgical resection of the small intestine, with transplantation of the ureters to the isolated segment of small bowel. This separated section of th esmall intestine is then brought to the This diversion requires external appliances to collect the urine.

Explanation

An ileal conduit is a surgical procedure that involves removing a section of the small intestine and using it as a pathway for urine to exit the body. The ureters, which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, are transplanted into this isolated segment of the small bowel. The separated section of the small intestine, known as the ileal conduit, is then brought to the surface of the abdomen. External appliances, such as a bag or pouch, are needed to collect and contain the urine that is diverted through the ileal conduit.

Submit
58. A continent ___ is a surgical alternative that uses a section of the intestine to create an internal reservoire that holds urine. It uses an external stoma that must b e catheterized at regular intervals to drain the urine that has collected in the reservoir.

p. 1490

Submit
62. Any involuntary loss of urine is known as

Explanation

Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine, which can occur due to various factors such as weak bladder muscles, overactive bladder muscles, nerve damage, or hormonal changes. It is a common condition that can affect people of all ages, but is more prevalent in older adults. Symptoms of urinary incontinence can range from occasional leakage to a complete inability to control urination. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medications, and in some cases, surgery.

Submit
63. _____ is a measure of the density of urine compared with the density of water.

Explanation

p. 1498

Submit
64. One should apply lubricant to a catheter before inserting it into a male patient.

Explanation

Applying lubricant to the catheter before inserting it in a male patient is no longer recommended. Currently, the recommendation is to gently insert the tip of a syringe prefilled with lubricant into the male urethra before inserting the catheter. (p. 1513 - 1514)

Submit
65. When micturation is initiated the ______ contracts, the _____ relaxes, and urine enters the posterior urethra. The muscles of the perineum and the _______ relax, the ______ contracts slightly, the _____ lowers, and micturation occurs.

Explanation

p. 1488

Submit
66. An indwelling catheter is usually preferred over suprapubic catheters for long-term continous drainage.

Explanation

This is false because suprapubic catheters are often preferred over indwelling urethral catheters for long-term urinary drainage, because suprapubic catheteres are associated with decreased risk of contamination with organisms from fecal material, elimination of damage to the urethra, a higher rate of patient satisfaction, and a lower risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

Submit
67. The presence of sugar in the urine is known as

Explanation

Glycosuria refers to the presence of sugar in the urine. This condition occurs when the blood sugar levels are abnormally high, causing the kidneys to excrete excess glucose into the urine. Normally, the kidneys reabsorb all the glucose from the filtrate, but when blood sugar levels are too high, the reabsorption capacity of the kidneys is exceeded, leading to the presence of glucose in the urine. Glycosuria can be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes or other conditions affecting glucose metabolism. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and appropriate treatment is necessary to manage glycosuria.

Submit
68. What type of incontinence appears suddenly and lasts for 6 months or less.

Explanation

p. 1505

Submit
69. _____ is the amount of urine rematining in the bladder immediately after voiding, which can be measured by catheterization or use of portable ultrasound device.

Explanation

Postvoid residual (PVR) refers to the amount of urine that remains in the bladder immediately after urination. This can be measured using catheterization or a portable ultrasound device. PVR is an important measurement as it helps to assess bladder emptying and can indicate if there is any urinary retention or dysfunction. Monitoring PVR levels can be particularly useful in diagnosing and managing conditions such as urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, and bladder outlet obstruction.

Submit
70. For long-term use in an adult, a ___F to ___F catheter is commonly used

Explanation

p. 1511

Submit
71. The device used to create an image of the patient's bladder and calculate urine volume present in the bladder is called a _____ scanner.

Explanation

p. 1492

Submit
72. In a Mitrofanoff procedure the bladder neck is closed and one end of the _____ is brought to the skin surface and is used as a stoma; the other end is tunneled into the bladder.

Explanation

p. 1516

Submit
73. A 24-hour output of less than _____ mL is called oliguria

Explanation

p. 1491

Submit
74. A bladder irrigationi (through the catheter) rinses out the bladder and can also instill medication that acts directly on the _____ ____.

Explanation

p. 1514

Submit
75. _____ is a delay or difficulty in initiating voiding.

Explanation

Hesitancy is a delay or difficulty in initiating voiding, which refers to the process of starting to urinate. It can be caused by various factors such as an enlarged prostate, urinary tract infections, or nerve damage. Hesitancy can result in a weak or interrupted urine stream and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. On the other hand, "hesitency" is not a recognized term and does not have any meaning in relation to the given question.

Submit
76. Continuous and unpredicaable loss of urine, resulting from surger, physical malformation, or trauma is known as what type of incontience?

Explanation

Total incontinence refers to the continuous and unpredictable loss of urine that occurs as a result of surgery, physical malformation, or trauma. This type of incontinence is characterized by the inability to control urination completely, leading to the constant leakage of urine. It is different from other types of incontinence, such as stress or urge incontinence, which may involve occasional or intermittent leakage. Total incontinence can significantly impact a person's quality of life and may require medical intervention or management strategies to address the underlying cause and improve symptoms.

Submit
77. Those who urinate frequently/infrequently usually have more/less urinary tract infections and kidney disorders.

Explanation

p. 1488

Submit
78. _____ are infections acquired in the hospital. The most common cause of which is ______

Explanation

p. 1485

Submit
81. What are the three types of wastes that are characteristics of urine?

Explanation

The three types of wastes that are characteristic of urine are organic wastes, inorganic wastes, and liquid wastes. Organic wastes refer to the waste products of metabolism, such as urea and uric acid. Inorganic wastes include electrolytes and other dissolved substances that need to be eliminated from the body. Liquid wastes refer to the water content of urine. Therefore, the correct answer includes all three types of wastes: organic, inorganic, and liquid.

Submit
82. When the bladder fills to about ____ to ____ mL (in an adult) a person feels the diesire to void.

Explanation

When the bladder fills to about 150 to 250 mL (in an adult), a person feels the desire to void. This means that when the volume of urine in the bladder reaches between 150 and 250 mL, the individual experiences the urge to urinate.
