Can't help you without knowing what the symptom(s) supporting the urine elimination are. Your interventions and goals should be aimed at doing something for those symptoms.

By the way, there is no nursing diagnosis called "urine elimination". There is Impaired Urinary Elimination. Is that what you meant? Here's a link to a webpage with nursing diagnosis information as well as some suggestions for goals and interventions: Impaired Urinary elimination

There is information on writing care plans on these threads on allnurses:

Assess for bladder distention and contact DR., if standing order to straight cath is not in place. Most OB docs have standing orders to straight cath and check residule after X hours if no void. Prior to that you can do the run the water, dribble water across the meatus, and stick hand in tepid water.

I am not sure what a concept map is. Is this like a care plan? What are your goals? What interventions do you have so far? We'll put our heads together and come up with some more. Don't forget about your therapeutic interventions,such as teaching and encouraging. Let me know what you got so far. Don't give up.

A concept map, or care map, is a care plan presented in a different physical way than the classic chart method. You can see what a care map looks like on this webpage:

the goals i have are the patient will not have difficulty urinating during my shift. the other goal was the pt will void 300cc or > during my shift. and my long term goal was the pt will empty bladder regularly w/out any discomfort or pain during hospital stay and cont to do so after discharged to home. i need one more intervention for the long term goal.

i have the nurse will encourage fluid intake. the nurse will advise pt to notify if any difficutly of discomfort occrus during urination, the nurse will monitor for pain/difficulty voiding, the nurse will put pt on i&o's, will monitor output, will advise pt to void when sesastions of urine occur, and the nurse will discuss w/pt the importance of fully emptying bladder. all i need is one more.
