Why does the nurse need to keep the urine sterile while obtaining a sample from an indwelling urinary catheter?

1 answer:

3 0

To ensure that any bacteria in the urine specimen are from the urine and not from the patient's skin, the nurse's hands, or the environment, the nurse will employ sterile technique to collect a urine specimen from an indwelling urinary catheter.

<h3>What are Indwelling urinary catheters? </h3>

A tube is placed in the bladder using aseptic approach during indwelling urinary catheterization.

Patients undergo the procedure for many different reasons, such as: Managing acute and chronic urinary retention; Accurately measuring urine output in critically ill patients; Bypassing an obstruction, such as an enlarged prostate gland in men; Administering medications directly into the bladder; and Conducting bladder function tests.

When all other conservative management techniques have been tried and failed, catheters can also be utilized to control incontinence and preserve skin integrity.

Numerous problems are linked to indwelling urinary catheterization, such as catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), tissue injury, bypassing, and obstruction.

Name all of the kingdoms of living things, indicate how they relate to each other.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The five kingdoms are: <u>animal, plant, fungi, protist and monera. </u>The system of biological kingdoms is the way in which science classifies living things according to their ancestry over the course of evolution. they also have common ancestors and therefore share some of their genes and belong to the same family tree.

Hope this helps!

The epidermis is the most superficial layer of the skin. It is composed of stratified squamous epithelium. Within the epidermis,

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a. Stratum corneum 5. : Thick superficial layer of flat, keratinized, dead cells; responsible for dandruff.

b. Stratum granulosum 3.: Cells flatten and fill with keratin, resulting in a grainy appearance.

c. Stratum lucidum 4. : Clear layer found only in thick skin; cells full of keratin.

d. Stratum basale 1. : Deepest layer; site of rapid cell division and melanin production.

e. Stratum spinosum 2.: Live keratinocytes connected by desmosomes produce pre-keratin

Explanation:

The epidermis has five layers, starting from the deepest one they are:

The stratum basale: is the layer that has the germinative cells, called keratinocytes.

The stratum spinosum: the keratinocytes are connected, and they produce the precursor of keratin and lipids.

The stratum granulosum: the name of this stratum is due to the appearance of the cells. They produce keratohyalin, and the lipids produced in the previous layer are released, creating the layer that protects the skin against dehydration.

The stratum lucidum: They are only in thick skin, like the one that is in the sole of our feet. The cells do not have a nucleus. They are filled with keratin, which is the component of thick skin.

The stratum corneum: the more superficial layer, it is made of dead cells filled with keratine. When new cells ascend to this stratum, the old ones have to be removed by exfoliation or natural peeling.

4) The simplest type of response is a direct one-to-one stimulus-response reaction. A change in the environment is the stimulus; the reaction of the organism to it is the response. In single-celled organisms, the response is the result of a property of the cell fluid called irritability.

5) During meiosis, the cells needed for sexual reproduction divide to produce new cells called gametes. Gametes contain half as many chromosomes as the other cells in the organism, and each gamete is genetically unique because the DNA of the parent cell is shuffled before the cell divides.

6)Producers can make their own food by capturing the sun's energy, but consumers and decomposes can't. Consumers need to eat other organisms to obtain energy. Decomposes are like the recycles of nature. They obtain energy for their own needs while returning simple molecules to the environment.

7)The birds are growing up into a larger bird.

8) Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first place? And how do they use it in the most efficient manner possible?

9)Aside from the fact that fish,and trees can be aged in similar ways (by counting annual growth rings), new research shows that all three also respond to climate change in similar ways.

10)No we will not be able to survive cause there is no food or water and it is only oxygen of course you will be able to breathe but not eat or drink.
