slide3. 1. A patient with a long-standing history of diabetes mellitus is voicing concerns about kidney disease. The patient asks the nurse where urine is formed in the kidney. The nurse’s response is the:
A. bladder.
B. kidney.
C. nephron.
D. ureter. Quick Quiz! Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. 3<br>
slide4. Mrs. Vallero is a 65-year-old woman who has been in the hospital for 4 days with problems related to heart failure, fluid retention, and diabetes. She has a history of urinary retention secondary to neuropathy caused by her diabetes.
Mrs. Vallero’s indwelling urinary catheter was removed 2 days ago and subsequently was replaced yesterday at 6 a.m. because of her inability to urinate more than 100 mL at a time, being incontinent of small amounts of urine, complaints of urinary urgency, and lower abdominal pain.

slide5. Brain structures influence bladder function.
Voiding: Bladder contraction + urethral sphincter and pelvic floor muscle relaxation
1. Bladder wall stretching signals micturition center.
2. Impulses from the micturition center in the brain respond to or ignore this urge, thus making urination under voluntary control.
3. When a person is ready to void, the central nervous system sends a message to the micturition centers, the external sphincter relaxes and the bladder empties. Act of Urination Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. 5<br>

slide7. Sandy notes that the urinary catheter was removed at 7 a.m. this morning, and the patient has no recorded urine output for the day. Mrs. Vallero verifies that she has only “dribbled” urine. While making rounds, Sandy talks with Mrs. Vallero, who says she is worried because “I thought this was all under control.”
The health care provider is notified, and an order is obtained for an intermittent catheterization. The registered nurse on the day shift catheterizes Mrs. Vallero at 3 p.m. with a return of 600 mL of pale, clear yellow urine. Case Study (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. 7<br>
slide8. As Sandy prepares to assess Mrs. Vallero again, she remembers that urinary problems are common in patients who have diabetes and in older adults. Age alone does not cause incontinence. She recalls that patients with urinary retention sometimes leak or “dribble” urine and are then misdiagnosed as incontinent.
She knows that patients generally void at least every 6 to 8 hours, and that Mrs. Vallero’s recent catheterization, her decreased mobility, and her history of diabetes make her more prone to urinary retention, incontinence of small amounts of urine, and urinary tract infection (UTI).

slide12. 2. A health care provider may suspect that a patient is experiencing urinary retention when the patient has:
A. large amounts of voided cloudy urine.
B. pain in the suprapubic region.
C. spasms and difficulty during urination.
D. small amounts of urine voided two to three times per hour. Quick Quiz! Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. 12<br>
slide13. Sandy knows that she will need to assess whether Mrs. Vallero feels the urge to urinate. She determines that no one has taken Mrs. Vallero to the bathroom recently. Sandy also needs to find out more about her patient’s urination patterns at home because Mrs. Vallero has verbalized anxiety about her present voiding patterns.
Previous clinical experience has taught Sandy that palpation of the abdomen over a distended bladder causes some discomfort, and that the patient often experiences an urge to urinate. Mrs. Vallero grimaces when her abdomen is palpated and says she has a little dolor (pain). Case Study (Cont.) Copyright © 2017, Elsevier Inc. All Rights Reserved. 13<br>
