Identify factors that influence the elimination
Identify common causes of the elimination
problem Implement nursing process to help the client with elimination problems Bowel elimination Physiology of defecation The colon in the adult is about 125 to 150 cm long Cecum; ascending, transverse, descending colon; sigmoid colon; rectum and anus Is a muscular tube lined with mucous membrane Circular and longitudinal muscle fibres Haustra Bowel elimination Function of the colon: Absorption of water and nutrients Mucal protection of the intestinal wall Bicarbonate ions Parasympathetic nerve stimulation e.g. emotion Protect the wall of large intestine from the fecal acids and bacterial activity, as an adherent for holding the fecal material together Fecal elimination Ingested content over the previous 4 days ileocecal valve- 1500mL chyme 100mL of fluid is excreted in the feces Flatus- by-product of digestion of carbohydrates Bowel elimination Movements of the colon: Haustral churning Mixing and moving forward the content Absorption of the water Colon peristalsis Wavelike movement Mass peristalsis Powerful muscle contraction After eating, only few times a day Bowel elimination Rectum (10 to 15 cm) Rectum folds extend vertically contains vein and artery Haemorrhoids- distended vein Anal Canal (2.5 to 5 cm) Internal and external sphincter Internal sphicter: involuntary control innervated by autonomic nervous system External sphincter: voluntarily control by the somatic nervous system Defecation Expulsion the feces from the anus to rectum Bowel movement Several times per day to 2 or 3 times per week Sensory nerves of the rectum are stimulated Facilitate by thigh flexion and sitting position Repeated inhibition of the urge of defecate can result in the expansion of the rectum and loss of sensitivity→ constipation Feces Normal Color Adult: brown Infant: yellow Consistency Formed, soft, semisolid, moist Shape Cylindrical, 2.5 cm in diameter Amount 100 – 400g /day Odor Affected by food and normal flora Constituents Undigested roughage, dead cells, fat ,protein and digestive juice Flatus 7 to 10 L/ day Factors that affect defecation Development Newborn: meconium- black, tarry, odorless, sticky Infants: increase frequency Breastfeeding: yellow to golden feces Cow’s milk formula: dark yellow or tan stool Toddlers: daytime control- age 2½ Elders: constipation, the use of laxative Diet high- fibre food, spicy foods Regular time, increase fluid intake (2L-3L/ day) Gas, laxative and constipation producing food Activity Psychologic factors Defecation habits- gastrocolic reflex Factors that affect defecation Medications Morphin, codeine, tranquilizers, iron tablets- constipation Laxatives- stimulate bowel activity Aspirin- gastrointestinal bleeding Iron tablets- black stool, antacids- whitish discoloration Antibiotics- gray-green discoloration Diagnostic procedures Anesthsia and surgery Pathologic conditions Spinal cord injuries, head injuries, impaired mobility pain Fecal elimination problems Constipation Fewer than 3 bowel movements per week Fecal impaction Irregular Insufficient activity Insufficient defecation or intake fluid motility habits Insufficient Change Lack in daily of fiber privacy routine intake A mass or collection of hardened feces in the folds of the rectum results from prolonged retention and accumulation of fecal material. Requires oil retention enema, cleansing enema, suppositories, stool softener or manual removal (digital evacuation) Causes??? Fecal elimination problems Fecal elimination problems Diarrhoea Passage of liquid feces and an increased frequency of defecation Causes: psychologic stress, medication, allergy, food or fluid intolerance, diseases of the colon Maintain skin integrity Bowel incontinence Loss of voluntary ability to control fecal and gaseous discharges through the anal sphincter Flatulence Usually 7-10 L of flatus in the large intestine every 24 hours The gases include carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen Fecal elimination problems Flatulence (excessive flatus) Usually 7-10 L of flatus in the large intestine every 24 hours The gases include carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen Three sources: bacteria on chyme, swallowed air and gas diffuses between bloodstream and intestine belching Bowel diversion ostomies
Colostomy: can be permanent or temporary
Promoting regular defecation The provision of privacy Timing Do not ignore the urge Adequate time for defecation Nutrition and fluids High fiber, adequate fluid Constipation: e.g. prune juice, fiber Diarrhoea: adequate fluid, avoid spicy Flatulence: limit carbonated beverages, chewing gum, gas forming food- cabbage, beans, onions Exercise Tightened abdominal muscle and thigh muscle Positioning Squatting position Commode bedpan Medication Carthartics and laxative Bulk- forming Emollien/ stool softener Stimulant/ irritant Lubricant Saline/ osmotic Antidiarrheal medications Antiflatulent medications Decreasing flatulence
Avoiding gas-producing foods
Exercise Moving in bed Ambulation Movement stimulates peristalsis the escape flatus reabsorption of gases in the intestinal capillaries Enema Enema is a solution introduced into the rectum and large intestine It distends the intestine and sometimes irritates the intestine mucosa, thereby increasing peristalsis and the excretion of feces and flatus Four groups: cleansing, carminative, retention and return-flow enemas Enema Cleansing enema: remove feces Hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic, soapsuds solutions or oil (p.1242, table 46-4) Carminative enema: expel flatus Retention enema: oil or medication into rectum and sigmoid colon and retained for a relatively long period (1-3 hours). For treating infection or soften the feces Return- flow enema: expel flatus. Alternating flow of 100 to 200 mL of fluid by five to six times Administering an enema Digital removal of a fecal impaction Breaking up the fecal mass digitally and removing it in portions Restriction!!! Contraindication e.g. cardiac arrhythmia. Using of the cleansing enema Bowel training program Determine the client’s usual bowel habits and factors that help and hinder normal defecation Design a plan:____________ Maintain the daily routine for 2 to 3 weeks:_________________ Provide feedback Offer encouragement Urinary elimination physiology Urinary elimination
Bladder An inner muscous layer
A connective tissue layer
Three layer of smooth muscle-
detrusor muscle An outer serous layer Urination Micturation Voiding Special nerve ending in the bladder wall- 250 to 450 mL of urine Voiding reflex center to spinal cord- relaxation of the internal sphincter Voluntary control of the external sphincter Factors affecting voiding Developmental factors Enuresis- involuntary passing of urine Nocturnal enuresis Nocturnal frequency Psychosocial factors Fluid and food intake Medication: diuretics Muscle tone Pathologic condition: renal failure, prostate gland hypertrophy, renal stone Surgical and diagnostic procedure Altered urine production Polyuria (diuresis) Abnormally large amount of urine production by kidneys Oliguria – low urine output Anuria- lack of urine production Altered urinary elimination Frequency and nocturia: UTI, pregnancy Urgency Dysuria: painful voiding Enuresis Urinary incontinence: involuntary urination Acute Vs chronic Urinary retention Neurogenic bladder: does not perceive bladder fullness, unable to control the urinary sphincters. Bladder becomes flaccid, distended or spastic with incontinence Assist client in urinary elimination Maintaining normal urinary elimination Preventing urinary tract infections Managing urinary incontinence Managing urinary retention Catherterization Assist client in urinary elimination Maintaining normal urinary elimination Promoting fluid intake if not contraindicated Normal daily intake averaging 1,500mL Diaphoresis, diarrhoea, vomitting require more intake Client who are at risk for UTI or urinary calculi should consume 2,000 to 3,000 mL Contraindication: kidney failure, heart failure Maintaining normal voiding habits Assisting with toileting Assist client in urinary elimination Maintaining normal urinary elimination Maintaining normal voiding habits Positioning Standing for male, squatting/ leaning slightly forward when sitting for female Bed-side commode Push over the pubic area Relaxation Privacy Sufficient time Read or listen to music Pour warm water to perineum, warm bath Timing Do not delay when pateint have the urge At usual time of voiding Bed-ridden client Warm the bedpan Fowler’s position, back support, flex the hip and knee Assist client in urinary elimination Maintaining normal urinary elimination Assisting with toileting Prevent slip and fall injury Easy accesible call signal Handrails Bedside urinary equipment Urinal Bedpan commode Assist client in urinary elimination Maintaining normal urinary elimination Preventing urinary tract infections Managing urinary incontinence Managing urinary retention Assist client in urinary elimination Preventing urinary tract infection Prevalence: women> men Why?
