, -Know how hepatitis A is transmitted - -Transmitted through fecal-oral
route. Fecal shedding followed by poor handwashing contaminates water and
foods leading to infection of household and sexual contacts
-Stress incontinence - -the urethral sphincter is weakened so that transient
increases in intra-abdominal pressure raise the bladder pressure to levels
that exceed urethral resistance. Causes include childbirth and surgery,
postmenopausal atrophy of the mucosa, and urethral infection. May follow
prostate surgery in men.
-urge incontinence - -detrusor contractions are stronger than normal and
overcome the normal urethral resistance. The bladder is typically small.
Mechanisms: Decreased cortical inhibition of detrusor contractions from
stroke, brain tumor, dementia, and lesions of the spinal cord above sacral
level. Also hyperexcitability of sensory pathways ie: bladder infections,
tumors, and fecal impaction. Deconditioning of voiding reflexes ie: frequent
voluntary voiding at low bladder volumes.
-overflow incontinence - -detrusor contractions are insufficient to overcome
urethral resistance, causing urinary retention. The bladder is typically flaccid
and large, even after an effort to void. Mechanisms: obstruction of the
bladder outlet ie: BPH or tumor. Weakness of the detrusor muscle associated
with peripheral nerve disease at S2-4 level. Impaired bladder sensation that
interrupts the reflex arc ie: diabetic neuropathy.
-functional incontinence - -the patient is functionally able to reach the toilet
in time because of impaired health or environmental conditions. Mechanism:
problems in mobility resulting from weakness, arthritis, poor vision, or other
conditions. Also environmental factors such as an unfamiliar setting, distant
bathroom facilities, bed rails, or physical restraints.
-Incontinence secondary to medications - -drugs may contribute to any type
of incontinence listed. Ex: sedatives, tranquilizers, anticholinergics,
sympathetic blockers, and potent diuretics

àstreptococcal pharyngitis, bacterial infection that may cause a sore,
scratchy throat
