What is elimination? - ANSWER: The excretion of waste products from the kidneys
and intestines
The excretion of waste products from the kidneys and intestines - ANSWER: GI
system (intestines) passage of stool through intestinal tract and dispelling stool by
means of intestinal smooth muscle contraction.
Urinary system (kidneys)- passage of urine through urinary tract by means of urinary
sphincters and urethra.
Skin
lungs
micturition - ANSWER: urination
anuria - ANSWER: without urine
dysuria - ANSWER: painful urination
polyuria - ANSWER: many urinations
oliguria - ANSWER: productions of small amounts of urine
nocturia - ANSWER: frequent urination at night
enuresis - ANSWER: bed wetting
glycosuria - ANSWER: sugar in the urine
urinary frequency - ANSWER: small amounts of urine frequency
urinary hesitancy - ANSWER: the urge to urinate but theres difficulty to get started
continence - ANSWER: able to hold urine appropriate
incontinence - ANSWER: the innability to hold in urine
retention - ANSWER: bladder feels full but you cant make it come out
Interrelated concepts of elimination - ANSWER: Nutrition
Fluids and Electrolytes
Acid base balance
,Mobility
Cognition
Coping
bladder elimination antecedents - ANSWER: Urge to urinate
Feeling of fullness or possible contraction of bladder
bladder elimination attributes - ANSWER: Presence of urine
Passage of urine
Retention of urine
Color of urine
Frequency of urination
Amount of urine
bowel elimination antecedents - ANSWER: Urge to defecate
Possible intestinal cramping or feeling of fullness in rectum
bowel elimination attributes - ANSWER: Presence of stool/feces
Passage of stool
Form of stool
Color of stool
Frequency of stool passage
Retention of stool
The production and excretion of urine pathway - ANSWER: Kidneys
Ureters
Bladder
urethra
Urinary Elimination - ANSWER: -Normally occurs under voluntary control.
-Kidneys are responsible for removal of metabolic waste and other elements from
the blood in the form of urine.
function of the kidneys - ANSWER: regulate the volume and composition of ECF and
excrete waste products (such as byproducts of drugs, excess minerals, vitamins and
electrolytes) from the body. They also function to
-control BP
-activate vit D
-Regulate acid base balance
how do the kidneys control BP - ANSWER: Renin is produced and secreted by
kidneys. Renin is released in response to decreased renal perfusion, decreased
arterial BP, decreased ECF, Decreased serum Na concentration and increased urinary
Na concentration
-produce erythropoietin
, erythropoietin - ANSWER: - a hormone produced in the kidneys and secreted in
response to hypoxia and decreased renal blood flow. It stimulates RBC production in
the bone marrow. Erythropoietin deficiency occurs with kidney failure and leads to
anemia.
parts of a nephron - ANSWER: 1. blood vessels
2. renal tubules
function of the nephron - ANSWER: filtration and collection.
Formation of urine occurs through - ANSWER: Glomerular filtration
Tubular reabsorption
Tubular secretion
Glomerular filtration represents the beginning of - ANSWER: urine formation
glomerular filtration - ANSWER: substances in blood pass through the filtration
membrane and the filtrate enters the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron.
tubular reabsorption - ANSWER: process of reclaiming water, electrolytes, and other
necessary elements from the tubular fluid and returning them to the blood
tubular secretion - ANSWER: selectively moves substances from blood to filtrate in
renal tubules and collecting ducts
The amount of water and electrolytes that are reabsorbed into the blood or excreted
in renal tubules is controlled by which hormones (5) - ANSWER: Aldosterone, ADH,
PTH, Renin, atrial natriuretic factor).
min 20 - ANSWER:
micturition reflex - ANSWER: Micturition reflex causes the internal sphincter muscles
to relax and bladder wall to contract.
External sphincter relaxes and urine passes out of the body through the urethra
through a ___ movement. - ANSWER: Voluntary
Internal sphincter (smooth muscle) contracts involuntarily to prevent what -
ANSWER: leakage from the bladder.
External sphincter (skeletal muscle) is ___controlled. - ANSWER: voluntarily
Bladder holds ___-___ mL of urine before the stretch receptors signal a need to
urinate. - ANSWER: 300-500
issues with elimination in infants and toddlers - ANSWER: lack sphincter and muscle
control until early childhood (approximately 18-24 months old)
