INTRODUCTION Nephrolithiasis refers to the condition of having kidney stones. The stones are solid concretions or calculi (crystal aggregation) form in the kidneys from dissolved urinary minerals. The stones are solid and are common in premature infants. (www.wikipedia.com) About 5% of women and 10% of men will have at least one episode by age 70. Kidney stones affect about 2 out of every 1000 people. Recurrence is common, and the

risk of the recurrence is greater if 2 or more episodes of kidney stones occur. (www.wikipedia.com) Some type of stones tends to run in the families. Some types may be associated with other conditions such as bowel disease, iliac bypass for obesity, or renal tubule defects. A personal or family history of stones is associated with increase of stone formation. (www.wikipedia.com) For the Filipinos who are fond of eating salty foods and fatty foods, also cigarette smoker and alcohol drinker were at risk for having this condition. In the United States, 23, 685 of its population have the incidence of Nephrolithiasis. (http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudisease/pubs/kustats/) Nephritis, nephritic syndrome, kidney stone and nephrosis has the number of 11,056 or 3.6% over 100,000 populations in the Philippines. (http://www.doh.gov.ph/kp/statistics/lading motality as of 2008). a. Importance of the case study This study is significant to the nursing education of broadening the knowledge of the students skills, knowledge and attitude of the nursing practice. It supplies extensive analysis about the condition selected through research and actual observation as it serves as and guidance in developing learned skills in the assessment and management of Nephrolithiasis. Through this study, the researcher will be able to familiarize the different medical approaches toward ongoing curative phase and the holistic approach in assessing patients health will be delivered for proper intervention to be given. For the researcher to have a baseline information about nephrolithiasis, management and clinical interventions. b.

1.b) Environmental Status Mr. V lives in unfinished house with an existing one bedroom. The back part of their house is a farm planted with corns and rice grains wherein they would also have the capacity to plant any trees or any other vegetation that they can use for other source of food. The drainage is located at 40 m. distant from their house. Their house is in close proximity to the RHU. Water pump outside their house which is owned by them is usually their source of water.

1.c) Lifestyle

The patients main habits at home are doing household chores such as cleaning the surroundings, washing dishes and clothes. When hes not yet married, he often drinks alcoholic beverages such as beer, redhorse and gin. He stated that 4x a week, he and his friends were having alcohol drinking session. He consumes approximately 5 bottles of gin or 10 bottles of beer and red horse every time they will have session. They often starts at 7pm and ended at 11 pm and goes home to sleep when hes already drunk and wakes up in the morning at 4 to do some household chores. He is also a cigarette smoker, usually consumes two packs per day which is equivalent to forty sticks. But, when he got married he gradually lessen his take of alcohol and cigarette, from five bottles to two bottles of gin, from ten bottles to four bottles of beer and redhorse, from two packs to one pack of cigarette per day until the day that he is not drinking alcohol and smoking cigarette anymore. He also loves salty and fatty food( example: sinigang na baboy na maraming taba or piritong baboy chicharon). He cannot eat foods without having sawsawan such as bagoong, alamang and patis. His main form of exercise is walking, doing household chores and planting; he is also fond of listening to radio when he is at rest.

3. History of past illness The client experienced having chicken pox and sore eyes during his childhood years and verbalized that he was unable to complete his immunization. The client doesnt have allergies to drugs, animals, insects, or any other environmental agents. He claims that whenever he gets sick he used OTC drugs such as paracetamol (biogesic and neozep).

4. History of present illness Mr. V felt the pain at first time on March 2010. He stated that he was just planting rice at that time and felt the pain on the lower quadrant on the abdomen radiating to back with a pain scale of four over ten. He just took a rest and the pain is relieved according to him. The pain occurs two times a week. The pain continued until April and he had ultrasound showing that there is a left renal cyst and medications were given. On June, the pain got worst but he can still tolerate and relieved by rest. He can do planting anymore due to pain but he can still do light activity such as washing dishes, and sweeping the floor. One week prior to admission, he can no longer tolerate the pain. He had just lied on bed and tried to overcome the pain. Few hours prior to admission, the patient was unable to walk and straighten up his body due to pain and already needs assistance.

5. 13 Areas of Assessment 1. Social Status Mr. V 66 years old married and is the eldest among eight siblings of the family, currently he is residing in Moncada, Tarlac. He works as a farmer at the back of their house. The patient verbalized that he and his family usually communicate with one another during mealtime. Every misunderstanding throughout the family is being settled immediately. Mr. V claimed that after his work he use to have bonding moments with his friends. Often times they tend to drink alcoholic beverages and consumed up to two bottles each. During the interview the patient always thinks about his health condition and when will be the operation. You can see on his face the worry he feels. Although, he is ill and experiencing pain, he still doing his best to cooperate during the interview. He used to talk to the other patients inside the ward. NORMS: Family members perform roles. Good communication within the family must be maintained to obtain a healthy relationship with one another. Social support is a perception tat one has emotional and tangible resources to call on when needed, perceived social support is being followed by the family to express the love of the family. Financial aspect is one of the normal constraints in the family. (Nursing Fundamentals by Rick Daniel; Community Health Nursing in the Philippines)

Analysis/interpretation: Mr. V has a good and harmonious relationship with the people around him. 2. Mental Status General appearance and Behavior The patient was well-groomed. He entertained every questions asked and answered willingly. He listened attentively and was cooperative. Patient manifested facial expression and affect in response to various topics of the conversation.

Level of consciousness The patient is responsive during the interaction yet as time goes by he is becoming less attentive and loss his focus on the interview. He was unable to maintain eye contact during the interview. Orientation The patient was oriented regarding his condition and his stay in the hospital. He was able to state the right time, right place and date of the interview. Speech The patient can speak Filipino and Ilocano. He conversed mostly in Tagalog and was able to express himself well. His speech was understandable and no speech defect was noted. Intellectual Functioning Mr. V was able to understand the questioned ask to him. The researchers did not have a hard time explaining anything to him. His memory is good because he did not have difficulty in recalling past events in his life including his check up. He was able to recall his activities since this morning.

NORMS: Mental status is the degree of comprehensive shown by a person in intellectual, emotional, psychological, and personality functioning.(Mosbys Pocket Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Professions). Analysis/interpretation: The patient responded accordingly to the situation and can be considered as mentally healthy.

3. Emotional Status During the interview Mr. V is uncomfortable at times when he was experiencing pain and not able to concentrate. His wife is with home to address his needs and to provide support. He expresses his opinions and emotions as the researchers go along the conversation. NORMS: It is normal for an individual to react on the stimuli she perceives and feels. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006)

Analysis/Interpretation: The patients mood was influenced by the present condition and the environment.

4. Sensory Perception

In the assessment of sensory perception, examination of vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch were included.

Vision In the examination of the eyes, extra ocular muscle movements of both eyes were examined first. To test this, the Six Fields of Gaze was used as the assessment method. Standing two feet in front of the patient, a pen was used for the patient to follow from superior, inferior, left, and right oblique angles. Both eyes of the patient symmetrically followed the pen is moved to the different locations. For the test of papillary constriction a penlight was used, light was introduced from the front to the lateral side of one and then repeated the same procedure to the eye. Both pupils constricted as light was directed to them. The patient was unable to read newspapers showed to him.

NORMS: For the test of the Cardinal Fields of Gaze, the extra ocular muscle movements are being assessed. Normally, both eyes of the patients should move smoothly and symmetrically in each of the six fields of gaze. Pupils should constrict briskly to direct and consensual light and to accommodation, reading is possible at a distance of 14inches for the assessment of near vision. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006)

Analysis/Interpretation The patients, extra ocular muscle movements and papillary response are still within normal but the client has a blurred vision.

Hearing For the auditory assessment, the voice-whisper test was used. Standing two feet between the patients other ear, words and phrases were whispered and allowed the patient to repeat the words and phrases that were whispered. The procedure was then repeated to other ear. The patient was not able to repeat the words being used.

NORMS: For the auditory accuracy, the patient should be able to repeat words whispered from a distanced of two feet. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006).

Analysis/Interpretation: The patients auditory accuracy

Smell In assessing the sense of smell of the patient, she was instructed to close her eyes and let her smell things like orange fruit and alcohol which is present on their table. She was then instructed to recognize and name the different materials. The client was able to recognize the scent of the things being asked him to smell.

NORMS: Olfactory receptor cell are located in the upper parts if the nasal cavity, the superior nasal conchae, and on parts of the nasal septum and are covered by hair like cilia that project into the cavity. The chemical component of odors binds with the receptors, causing nerve impulses to be transmitted to the olfactory cortex located in the base of the fontal lobe. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006).

Analysis/Interpretation: It denotes that the patients olfactory function transmits impulses to the frontal lobe properly.

Taste For the assessment of the sense of taste, the patient was again instructed to close his eyes and let her taste things like sugar and coffee which are present on their table then enabling him to name them. The patient named all things that he tasted.

NORMS: Four qualities of taste are found in the taste buds distributed over the surface of the tongue: bitter is located at the base, sour along the sides, and salty and sweet near the tip. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006).

Analysis/Interpretation: Her taste buds that help transmit taste sensations are functioning well.

Tactile In the examination of the touch sensation of the patient was again instructed to close his eyes and let him feel things like spoon soaked from hot water and pinched his on the forearm to assess pain sensation. The patient responded to the different sensation and expressed what he felt. He verbalized that the spoon soaked from the hot water was hot and the pinch was painful.

NORMS: The skin contains receptors for pain, touch, pressure and temperature. These receptors originate in the dermis and terminate as either that are encapsulated and found

predominantly in the fingertips and lips. Sensory signals that help determine precise locations on the skin are transmitted along rapid sensory pathways, and less distinct signals such as pressure or poorly localized touch are sent via slower sensory pathways. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006).

Analysis/Interpretation: The patients sensory transmission functions well.

5. Motor Stability The patient is able to ambulate from her bed. He was slouched and weak in appearance. The lower limb was not able to bear full body weight during standing and ambulation. The head and neck turn toward the included direction, followed by the rest of the body. He was not able to transfer easily from various positions. Assessment for the Range of Motion of the patient was done through instructions assistance which includes the ability of the patient to bend her shoulder farther apart. He can also move her shoulder medially (toward the midline of the body), and laterally (away the midline of the body) as well as rotating her shoulder medially and laterally. He can bend her elbows closer and farther apart or rotate it laterally to face upward and medially to face downward. Extension and flexion of his wrist can be done, and extending it beyond the neutral position. The patient can also flex and extend her knees and do dorsiflexion (flexing the foot at the ankle so that the toes moves toward the chest) or plantar flexion (moving the foot at the ankle so that the toes move away from the chest) of her ankles and feet, or titling her foot inward and outward and moving it toward away the midline of the body. The patient shows active movement against gravity.

Norms: Range of Motion standards are follows: Walking is limited in one smooth, rhythmic fashion as the heel strikes the floor body weight is then shifted to the bail of the foot, and then elevates off the floor before the nest step forward. The normal ROM for the shoulder is forward flexion, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation. The normal ROM for the elbows is extensions, supination, pronation, and flexion. The normal ROM of the wrist is extension, hyperextension, and flexion The normal ROM for the knees is flexion, extension in some cases, hyperextension is possible. The normal ROM for the ankles and feet is dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, abduction, and adduction. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination, Estes 2006).

Scale 0 1 2 3 4 No muscular contraction Barely flicker of contraction Active movement with gravity removed Active movement against gravity Active movement against gravity and some resistance 5 Active movement against full resistance with no fatigue Scale for Muscle Strength

Analysis/Interpretation: Mr. V was able to ambulate. Both lower limbs were able to bear full body weight. Normal muscle strength allows for complete voluntary range of joint motion against both gravity and moderate to full resistance. Muscle strength is equal bilaterally. There are no observed involuntary muscle movements.

Based on the Health Assessment and Physical Examination Third Edition (Mary Ellen Zator Estes, 2006), the normal respiratory rate for adult is 12- 20 breaths per minute, normal respiration are regular and even in rhythm, depth of inspiration is not exaggerated and effortless with the thorax rises and falls in unison in the respiratory cycle. Analysis/Interpretation: It shows that there is slight elevation on the respiration, since. He has irregular rhythm. 8. Circulatory Status Upon assessment of the blanch test results in prompt returning of pinkish color of the nail beds for two seconds. The patients skin turgor after pinching turns to its normal position. The force of the arterial pulse can be classified as in three point scale: 3+--------------fall, bounding 2+--------------normal 1+--------------weak, thready 0----------------absent
Table 1.3 Pulse Rate and Blood Pressure

Date July 28, 2010: 11-3 shift July 29, 2010: 11-7 shift 7-3shift July 30, 2010: 6:00am

101 bpm 90 90

120/80 mmHg 120/80 mmHg 120/70 mmHg

Laboratory reports dated July 27, 2010 reported RBC as 4.16 T/L and Hgb 122 g/L. Norms: The normal pulse rate ranges from 60-100 beats per minute and the rhythm is normal due to it is regular with equal bilateral strength upon bounding. The normal blood pressure is within the 120 to 140 systolic pressure and 80-90 diastolic pressure. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination Third Edition, Mary Ellen Zator Estes, 2006). The normal value of hemoglobin is 120 to 180g/L* and the RBC has the standard value from 4.20 to 6.30 T/L*. *Normal Values of the laboratory results are based on the normal values used in
TPH.

Analysis/Interpretation: The pulse from the scale given above, it falls under to the 2+ which is normal. There is an occurrence of increases in the blood pressure of the patient. The laboratory findings of hemoglobin and RBC are below normal range. 9. Nutritional Status According to Mr. V, he eats three times a day. He usually eats vegetables, fish and fatty foods such as chicharon. The patient verbalized that he cannot eat foods without soy sauce and fish sauce .In terms of fluid intake, the client stated that he consumes at an average of 4-6 glasses of water per day, distributed at around 3 glasses in the morning, 4 at noon and 3 glasses at evening before and during hospitalization.

Her Body Mass Index is computed as follows:

BMI=weight in kg Height (m) BMI = 48 kg (1.68) = 17.02 Norms: Normal eating pattern is at on the minimum of 3 times per day, depending upon metabolic need and demands. Fluid intake is on the average of 8 to 10 glasses per day. Normal BMI range: <18.5...underweight 18.5 24.9..healthy 25.0 29.9..overweight 30..obesity (Physical Assessment and Health Examination IV Edition by: Carolyn Javis)

Analysis/Interpretation: There are no remarkable deviations in the clients eating pattern, frequency, and attitude. Her BMI is within normal limit as compared to the normal value which is 18.5 to 24.9 thus making her healthy. 10. Elimination Pattern Bowel Habits: Mr. V was not able to defecate for three days (from July 27- July 30, 2010). Bladder Habits: He voids 3-4 times a day with dark yellow urine in small amount (500cc for 24 hrs) and with pain during urination.

Norms:

Normal bowel movement is 1 to 3 times a day and voiding at 1200 to 1500ml/day. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination Third Edition, Mary Ellen Zator Estes, 2006). Analysis/Interpretation: Mr. V has abnormal bowel elimination for three consecutive days. His urine output is not within normal range. There is presence of difficulty in urination. 11. Reproductive Status Mr. V claims that his first coitus happened when he was 27 years old. He also claims that he does not use condoms or other contraceptives with her wife. He has 9 children. Norms: Based on Sigmund Freuds psychosexual development the genital stage is where sexual desires reemerge due to physiological changes, fluctuating hormone levels, and changing social relationship (Pediatric Nursing; Thomson Edition 2003). Analysis/Interpretation: The patients early engagement to sexual activities is normal, since his reproductive organs are not yet fully develop. 12. State or Physical Rest and Sleep The patient had stated that during his hospitalization, he experienced sleep difficulties. His hours of sleep only range three to four hours a day. He claimed that his sleep difficulties were primarily due to the pain on the abdomen and the different interactions to check his medical conditions. Norms:

Based from Daniels (2004) Fundamentals of Nursing, 8- 10 hours of sleep is needed to have an adequate rest and an environment that is conducive to health is necessary to provide comfort to an individual. Analysis/Interpretation: The client has an abnormal state of sleep and rest. Pain was the primary factor of sleep deprivation during these days. 13. State of Skin Appendages Upon inspection, the clients skin is light brown and there is a presence of palmar pallor. Texture is described as cold clammy and a presence of mild sweating, grade 3 pitting edema was found in both hands and feet and skin turgor returns promptly after pinching. Sclerae are anicteric. Nails are intact with no swelling on eponychium and are pale in color. In abdominal area, skin is uniform similar as in the body, and his abdomen show signs of tenderness. Norms: The normal generalized color for dark-skinned individuals is light to dark brown to olive with milder colored palms, soles, nail beds and lips. Texture is described as smooth, soft, warm, and dry to touch. Pinched skin to test for skin turgor should return immediately after. There should also be no swelling, pitting or edema present when pressed firmly for 5 to 10 seconds over tibia or ankle. Nails are present per distal phalanx, are in pink color, round and with a 160 degree nail base. It is also hard, immobile and firm in texture. Evidence of Pallor is seen in patients who had abortion due to blood loss. (Health Assessment and Physical Examination Third Edition, Mary Ellen Zator Estes, 2006). Analysis/Interpretation: Palmar pallor is present due to ineffectrive peripheral tissue perfussion and a grade 3 pitting edema was noted in both hands and feet.

7. Anatomy and physiology

The kidney participates in whole-body homeostasis, regulating acid-base balance, electrolyteconcentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and regulation of blood pressure. The kidney accomplishes these homeostatic functions both independently and in concert with other organs, particularly those of the endocrine system. Various endocrine hormones coordinate these endocrine functions; these include renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, antidiuretic hormone, andatrial natriuretic peptide, among others. Many of the kidney's functions are accomplished by relatively simple mechanisms of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion, which take place in the nephron. Filtration, which takes place at the renal corpuscle, is the process by which cells and large proteins are filtered from the blood to make an ultrafiltrate that will eventually become urine. The kidney generates 180 liters of filtrate a day, while reabsorbing a large percentage, allowing for only the generation of approximately 2 liters of urine. Reabsorption is the transport of molecules from this ultrafiltrate and into the blood. Secretion is the reverse process, in which molecules are transported in the opposite direction, from the blood into the urine.

III. CONCLUSION In doing this study, the group had met all the nursing and client objectives that were formulated. The group was able to practice the skills and observed and applies the theories and concept that were learned during lecture days. In addition to this, dealing with a client with Nephrolithiasis gave opportunity to review the different body systems involved and the possible manifestations that would appear on a client with this kind of disease process. The group also became familiarized with various tests and diagnosis of the disease. As student nurses, the group was able to apply the proper nursing interventions and assessment. With regards to the client centered objectives, the client acquires knowledge about the current condition and carries out actions independently. IV. RECOMMENDATION: After stone passage or successful medical/surgical treatment, patient should be evaluated metabolically with serum studies and a 24 hr urine profile to determine whether any metabolic abnormalities exist that predispose to stone formation. Patients can be placed on the appropriate medication or alter their diet/lifestyle if needed. Periodic 24 hr urine monitoring should be performed to assess the efficacy of dietary/ lifestyle changes and medication. Imaging with non contrast CT scan or KUB should be carried out every six to twelve months to monitor for recurrence or increased in the size of existing stones.
