Total urinary Incontinence

Sabtu, 13 Juli 2013

Continuous and unpredictable loss of urine.

NOTE: In this book, the diagnosis total urinary incontinence will be used to refer to continuous urine loss from an extraurethral loss, and stress urinary incontinence will be used to refer to leakage from sphincter incompetence, regardless of severity.


Defining Characteristics: Continuous urine flow varying from dribbling incontinence superimposed upon an otherwise identifiable pattern of voiding to severe urine loss without identifiable micturition episodes

Related Factors: 

  • Ectopia (ectopic ureter opens into the vaginal vault or cutaneously; 
  • bladder ectopia with exstrophy/epispadias complex); 
  • fistula (opening from bladder or urethra to vagina or skin that bypasses urethral sphincter mechanism, allowing continuous urine loss)

NOC Outcomes (Nursing Outcomes Classification)

Suggested NOC Labels
  • Tissue Integrity: Skin and Mucous Membranes
  • Urinary Continence
  • Urinary Elimination
Client Outcomes
  • Urine loss is adequately contained, clothing remains unsoiled, and odor is controlled
  • Maintains intact perineal skin
  • Maintains dignity, hides urine containment device in clothing, and minimizes bulk and noise related to the device

NIC Interventions (Nursing Interventions Classification)

Suggested NIC Labels
  • Urinary Incontinence Care

Nursing Interventions and Rationales

1. Obtain a history of duration and severity of urine loss, previous method of management, and aggravating or alleviating features.
The symptom of continuous incontinence may be caused by extraurethral leakage or other types of incontinence that have been inadequately evaluated and/or managed. The patient history will provide clues to the etiology of the urinary leakage (Gray, Haas, 2000).

2. Perform a focused physical assessment, including inspection of the perineal skin, examination of the vaginal vault, reproduction of the sign of stress urinary incontinence (refer to care plan for Stress urinary Incontinence), and testing of bulbocavernosus reflex and perineal sensations.
The physical examination will provide evidence supporting the diagnosis of extraurethral or another type of incontinence (stress, urge, or reflex), providing the basis for further evaluation and/or treatment (Gray, Haas, 2000).

3. Complete a bladder log of urine elimination patterns and frequency and severity of urine loss.
The bladder log provides further information, allowing the nurse to differentiate extraurethral from other forms of urine loss and providing the basis for further evaluation and treatment (Gray, Haas, 2000).

4. Assist the patient to select and apply a urine containment devices or devices. Review types of containment products with the patient, including advantages and potential complications associated with each type of product.
Urine containment products include a variety of absorptive pads, incontinent briefs, underpads for bedding, absorptive inserts that fit into specially designed undergarments, and condom catheters. Careful selection of a containment product and education concerning its use maximizes its effectiveness in controlling urine loss for a particular individual (Shirran, Brazelli, 2000; McKibben, 1995).

5. Evaluate disposable vs. reusable products for urine containment, considering factors of setting (home care vs. acute care vs. long-term care), preferences of the patient and caregiver(s), and immediate vs. long-term costs.
The impact of routine use of urine containment devices is significant, regardless of the setting. Economic factors, as well as patient and caregiver preferences, have an impact on the success and ultimate cost of a reusable vs. disposable urine containment device (Shirran, Brazelli, 2000; Hu, Kaltreider, Igou, 1990; Cummings et al, 1995).

6. Cleanse the skin with an incontinence cleansing product system or plain water when changing urinary containment devices or pads. Use soap and water on the perineum no more than once daily or every other day as necessary.
Excessive cleansing of the perineal skin may exacerbate alterations in skin integrity, particularly among the elderly (Byers et al, 1995; Lindell, Olsson, 1990).

7. Apply a skin moisturizer following cleansing.
Moisturizers promote comfort and may reduce the risk of skin breakdown (Kemp, 1994).

8. Apply a protective barrier or ointment to the perineal skin when incontinence is severe, when double fecal and urinary incontinence exist, or when the risk of a pressure ulcer is considered significant.
A moisture barrier is indicated when the risk of altered skin integrity is complicated by coexisting factors of shear, fecal incontinence, or exposure to prolonged pressure (Fiers, Thayer, 2000; Kemp, 1994).

9. Consult the physician concerning use of an antifungal powder or ointment when perineal dermatitis is complicated by monilial infection. Teach the patient to use the product sparingly when applying to affected areas.
Antifungal powders or ointments provide effective relief from monilial rash; however, application of excessive amounts of the product retain moisture and diminish its effectiveness (Fiers, Thayer, 2000).

10. Consult the physician concerning placement of an indwelling catheter when severe urine loss is complicated by urinary retention, when careful fluid monitoring is indicated, when perineal dryness is required to promote the healing of a stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcer, during periods of critical illness, or in the terminally ill client when use of absorbent products produces pain or distress.
Although not routinely indicated, the indwelling catheter provides an effective, transient management technique for carefully selected patients (Urinary Incontinence Guideline Panel, 1996; Treatment of Pressure Ulcers Guideline Panel, 1994).

11. Refer the client with "intractable" or extraurethral incontinence to a continence service or specialist for further evaluation and management of urine loss.
The successful management of complex, severe urinary incontinence requires specialized evaluation and treatment from a health care provider with special expertise (Doughty, 1991; Gray; 1992).

Geriatric

1. Provide privacy and support when changing incontinent device of elderly client.
Elderly, hospitalized clients frequently express feelings of shame, guilt, and dependency when undergoing urinary containment device changes (Biggerson et al, 1993).

2. Employ meticulous infection control procedures when using an indwelling catheter.


Home Care Interventions

NOTE: The interventions identified are all applicable to the home care setting. Review the interventions for appropriateness to individual clients.

Client/Family Teaching

1. Teach the family to obtain, apply, and dispose of or clean and reuse urine containment devices.

2. Teach the family a routine perineal skin care regimen, including daily or every other day hygiene and cleansing with containment product changes.

3. Teach the client and family to recognize and manage perineal dermatitis, ammonia contact dermatitis, and monilial rash.

4. Teach the patient to maintain adequate fluid intake (30 ml/kg of body weight/day).

5. Teach the client and family to recognize and manage urinary infection.

I would like to thank Ultimate Health Home for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Health Home. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can contact them at ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I wish to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently able to overcome this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal method.

Maicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought to the emergency room by the campus authority of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, blamed him for taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.

Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.

My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.

Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.

It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.

Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.

My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.

I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
