Nclex 준비 - Incontinence

안녕하세요 예비 미국 간호사 선생님들
이번에는 Incontinence에 대해 공부해봅시다.
이 문제는 보통 passing level입니다.


Rule #1. 3 types of incontinence
- Functional: Functional incontinence usually occurs because something blocks your way to the toilet.

• Ex) Dementia can decrease awareness of when to use the bathroom.

- Stress: Urine leaks when you exert pressure on your bladder by coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting something heavy.
- Urge:

• Excersie to lose weight = reduce pelvic pressure
• Kegel exercise

 

Rule #2. Priority; encouranging bladder muscle movement and function
- Set the time to go bathroom to practice holding urine

• Void every 2 hours

- Encournage movement (walking); for SATA
- DO NOT Catherization (Straight Cath, Urinary cath) due to infection risk

Rule #3. Sexual activities are NOT related to BPH and urinary retention
