Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. List the six functions of the kidney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Excrete urea, ammonia (nitrogenous waste)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Regulates blood volume by determining the amount of water excreted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Regulates the electrolyte content of the blood.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Regulate acid-base balance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Regulate RBC production through the secretion of erythopoietin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Discuss the process of filtration and how it flows through the different structures in the kidney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glomerulus filters water and other substances from the bloodstreams<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filtration membrane keeps blood cells and large proteins in the bloodstream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reabsorption moves nutrients and water back into the bloodstream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waste ions and hydrogens ions secreted from the blood complete the formation of urine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Where does filtration start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filtration takes place in the glomerulus, which is the vascular beginning of the nephron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Name the solvents that are not filtered out of the glomerulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood component<\/a>s include blood cells, albumins, and platelets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Name the three hormones that control water and electrolyte reabsorption in the kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atrial natriuretic peptide, produced by the heart, Antidiuretic hormone, released from the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

posterior pituitary, Aldosterone, secreted from the adrenal cortex(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Summarize the blood flow through the kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into<\/p>\n\n\n\n

smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your<\/p>\n\n\n\n

blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

through the renal vein. Your blood circulates through your kidneys many times a day. In a single<\/p>\n\n\n\n

day, your kidneys filter about 150 quarts of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Discuss abnormal findings that may be found in a urinalysis test<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The urinalysis tests detect and\/or measure several substances in the urine, such as byproducts of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

normal and abnormal metabolism, cells, cellular fragments, crystals, casts and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abnormal urinalysis results may point to a disease or illness.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Identify blood test that can measure kidney function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A creatinine blood test measures kidney function. The body produces creatinine at a steady rate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and measuring the levels only requires a routine blood sample.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Discuss the difference between a UTI and pyelonephritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pyelonephritis is an infection of the renal pelvis, the region of the kidneys from where the urine drains<\/p>\n\n\n\n

into the ureters and is carried away to the urinary bladder. It is relatively rarer than UTI as it higher up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and chances of the body\u2019s immune system eradicating the infection by then are high. Children and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

elderly are more prone to UTIs.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Differentiate AGN from nephrotic syndrome?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AGN: damage in glomeruli due to inflammation, infection (streptococcal organism) Nephrotic syndrome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

abnormal permeability of the glomerular membrane to protein molecules (albumin); protein excessively<\/p>\n\n\n\n

filtered through the renal tubules, protein excreted in urine, pressure changes in the kidney, edema,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

progressive renal failure, &amp; hyperalbuminuria & hypoalbuminemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Describe three types of renal calculi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbonate, calcium oxalate stone, calcium phosphate stone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Differentiate acute and chronic renal failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acute renal failure usually develops rapidly. Blood tests show elevated serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

creatinine as well as metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia, confirming the failure of the kidneys to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

remove wastes.(Urinary and Renal Worksheet Comprehensive Nursing Paper Example)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chronic renal failure is the gradual irreversible destruction of the kidneys over a long period. It may<\/p>\n\n\n\n

result from chronic kidney disease, such as bilateral pyelonephritis or congenital polycystic kidney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

disease, or from systemic disorders, such as hypertension or diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
