Any sudden change in vital signs can be extremely important. Hector Garcia has been given an antibiotic for a urinary tract infection. This is the second occurrence of infection in 6 weeks, and he has now been referred for excretory urogram. While waiting for the initial image to be checked, he complains of feeling short of breath and has a poorly defined discomfort in his chest. What might cause these symptoms? What should you do?

He tells you that he has been experiencing difficulty with urination, including increased frequency, urinating more at night, difficulty starting his urine stream, and dribbling after urination. He states that after urination, he feels like his bladder is not emptied. 1. What diagnosis is suggested by Mr. Miles's symptoms? 2. What classes of drugs do you expect will be prescribed for Mr. Miles, and how will these drugs work? 3. What important teaching points will you include regarding the diagnosis and its treatment?arrow_forwardWhich of the following pathways best describe the structures which urine has to flow through before being excreted out of the body? (Hint: some structures may be omitted, so just make sure the general order is correct) 1-Collecting duct -> bladder -> ureter 2-Collecting duct -> ureter -> bladder -> urethra 3-Collecting duct -> urethra -> bladder -> ureter 4-Major calyx -> minor calyx -> renal pelvis -> urethraarrow_forward
- Ingestion of carbonated soft drinks, coffee, and tea instead of water has caused us to be chronically dehydrated. Discuss the impact of this dehydration on overall health and how concentrated urine, indicated by its yellow color, signals the need for more water consumption, while clear and colorless urine indicates that water intake is sufficient.arrow_forwarda) Describe in your own words the formation of urine in the body. b) Explain the pathway that urine takes from the kidneys to the outside of the body. Use key terminologyarrow_forwardShortly after you drink a large glass of water, you will feel the urge to urinate. Explain this observation. Begin by tracing the path of water, starting at the stomach, and ending with the arrival of urine in the bladder.arrow_forward

O c. they do not ask for help in urinating in a timely manner and urine is forced up into the ureters. d. the trigone lying between the opening to the ureters and the urethra is underdeveloped.arrow_forward1)Where are neurotransmitters released from?
