1. Comfort: A state of physical well-being, pleasure, and absence of pain or stress
2. Interventions for patients with decreased comfort: Anticipate pain and emo-
tional stress, collaborate with members of the inter professional team as needed,
and implement pain management measures
3. Elimation: The excretion of waste from the body by the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
(as feces) and by the urinary system (as urine)
4. Bowel elimination: Occurs as a result of food and fluid intake and ends with
passage of feces (stool) or solid waste products from food into the rectum of the
colon
5. Urinary Elimination: Occurs as a result of multiple kidney processes and ends
with the passage of urine through the urinary tract
6. Continence: Voluntary control of both bowel and urinary elimination
7. Incontinence: Lack of bowel or bladder control
8. Retention: inability to expel stool or excrete urine
9. Obstipation: Inability to pass stool
10. Oliguria: Scant urine
11. Anuria: absence of urine
12. Aging (when pelvic muscles weaken), neurologic disorders, excessive
laxative use, other medication use, GI infections, and lack of exercise: Risk
factors for incontinence include:
13. Adequate nutrition and hydration, diet high in fiber, stay well hydrated,
health teaching, and collaboration with inter professional team: Interventions
to prevent changes in elimination include:
14. Foods high in potassium: Oranges and potatoes
15. Fluid and electrolyte balance: The regulation of body fluid, fluid osmolality, and
electrolytes by processes such as filtration, diffusion, and osmosis.
16. Where is extracellular fluid found?: The vascular space (plasma) and intersti-
tial space (fluid between cells, often referred to as third space fluid)
17. Electrolytes: Chemicals in the body needed for normal body functioning, espe-
cially the heart and brain
18. Acute illnesses (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea), severe burns, serious injury
or trauma, chronic kidney disease, surgery, poor nutritional intake, and older
adults: Risk factors that can alter a person's fluid and electrolyte balance include:
19. What is the minimum hourly urinary output?: Atleast 30mL per hour
20. Increase in blood pressure due to increased blood volume, peripheral
pulses are often strong and bounding and peripheral edema occurs.: What are
the signs and symptoms of someone experiencing fluid excess (overload)?
