Ok, so my patient is in ESRD and recently stopped producing urine all together - anuric, anuresis.... I'm only asking this question because I have stupidly left my medical dictionary book in school...
Got it! No worries about being questioned. Thanks for any insight you have given me! Like I said, this is all new to me so anything anyone can tell me is wonderful. One more thing while I'm at it...
I know it is unusual - but I specifically asked the first time I was assigned to her because she asked for water to drink, and everytime I have had her since I ask the nurse before I go into her room...
Hey, thanks for the last piece of my information... It was a change for me, I had my patient on a Friday - she was voiding freely... And then Monday when I got to floor the nurse in charge was giving...
I agree with the above post 100%! Never expected it to be this hard but it is so worth it! It's great being able to use what you learn in the classroom to use in the clinical setting and seeing the...

Again, THANKS! Maybe I could bother you for one more thing! I need to do 3 interventions for my dx with the Impaired Tissue Integrity. All I could think of was turning and repositioning every 2...
Thanks so much for that information... Actually, my patient doesn't even tell you when he has gone to the bathroom. I would ask him, and he'd tell me no, and then when I would go to move him or...
Hi all! Was wondering if I could get some help on something. I was at Clinicals today and I completed a physical assessment on my patient , and at the very end I noticed that the urine in the Foley...
thanks! actually her BUN was high - 31. (that was the lab result for several days ago) But I didn't think this would have anything to do with the color of the urine. I'm definitely gonna go back...

i had a Nutrition textbook for my class last semester but wasnt too happy with it, so I went out and got Nutrition Made Incredibly Easy. It worked for me! Did exactly what you are asking for as far...
