The client keeps the drainage bag below the bladder at all times.-rationale: to maintain effective drainage, the client should keep the drainage bag below the bladder; doing so allows the urine to flow by gravity from the bladder to the drainage bag. The client shouldn't lay the drainage bag on the floor because the bag could become grossly contaminated. The client shouldn't clamp the catheter drainage tubing because this impedes the flow of urine. To promote drainage, the client may loop the drainage tubing above not below its point of entry into the drainage bag.
Acute pyelonephritis is a sudden and severe inflammation of kidneydue to a bacterial infection. The patient has to increase their fluid intake and possibly IV fluids. It is an acute emergency, and it needs immediate treatment with intravenous antibiotics. With pyelonephritis, bacteria travels from your urethra up through the bladder and into the kidney.
The treatment for uncomplicated pyelonephritis lasts for about seven days. Complicated or more severe cases of pyelonephritis and treated for about fourteen days.
Increasing fluid intake to 3 l/day-rationale: acute pyelonephritis is a sudden inflammation of the interstitial tissue and renal pelvis of one or both kidneys. infecting bacteria are normal intestinal and fecal flora that grow readily in urine. pyelonephritis may result from procedures that involve the use of instruments (such as catheterization, cystoscopy, and urologic surgery) or from hematogenic infection. the most important nursing intervention is to increase fluid intake to 3 l/day. doing so helps empty the bladder of contaminated urine and prevents calculus formation. administering a sitz bath would increase the likelihood of fecal contamination. using an indwelling urinary catheter could cause further contamination. encouraging the client to drink cranberry juice to acidify urine is helpful but isnt the most important intervention.
