Cystitis (UTI)
Pathophysiology of: _______________________________________
An inflammation of the bladder caused by irritation or by infection from bacteria. Infectious agents, bacteria, move up the urinary tract
__________________________________________________________________________________________
from the external urethra to the bladder which produces bacteriuria. Bacteriuria without symptoms of infection is called
__________________________________________________________________________________________
colonization. this does not progress to acute infection or renal insufficiency unless the patient has other pathologic problems
__________________________________________________________________________________________
then it requires treatment.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________
UTI
Etiology of: ________________________________________________
It is a result of a high bacterial virulence which overcomes normal strong host resistance. Common organisms are Escherichia coli,
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Klebsiella pneumoniae, and staphylococcus saprophyticus. Invading bacteria are more likely to cause ascending UTIs that
__________________________________________________________________________________________
start in the urethra or bladder and move up into the ureter and kidney. They move into the urethra from the perenial area as
__________________________________________________________________________________________
a result of irritation, trauma or catheterization.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Pt risk factors: (modifiable and non-modifiable)
With age enlarged prostates may obstruct the normal flow of urine, producing stasis. Neuromuscular conditions cause
__________________________________________________________________________________________
incomplete bladder emptying, such as Parkinson disease and strokes, affect older adults more frequently.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
UTI
Medical Treatment of: _____________________________________________________________________________
Drug therapy - antimicrobials treat bacteriuria and analgesics and antispasmodics promote comfort.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Urinary elimination management - maintain an optimal elimination pattern.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Nutrition therapy - a diet with all food groups and added calories for increased metabolism due to the infection
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Comfort measures - a warm sitz bath. Surgery - removal of obstructions and repair of the vesicoureteral reflux.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

Medical Treatments: Actual: Things ordered by MD

 nutrition therapy by way of dietitian referral, fluid IV to prevent dehydration
_______________________________________________________________________________________
 Drug therapy - antiemetics, antibiotics and analgesics for comfort
