The patient was experiencing difficulty urinating, incontinence, dysuria, and grimacing with urination. Vital signs showed an elevated temperature. The nursing diagnosis was impaired urinary elimination related to increased urethral occlusion. The goals were for the patient and family to understand the condition and prevent urinary infection. Interventions included monitoring vitals, encouraging oral fluids and urination, and administering medications as prescribed to help recovery.

Subjective Cues: The patient verbalized difficulty in urinating.

Impaired urinary elimination related to increase urethral occlusion
Short term goal: After 8 hours of holistic nursing intervention, the patient and S.O. will be able to : Verbalized understanding of condition Participate in measures to correct or compensate for defects. Demonstrate behavior and techniques to prevent urinary infection.
I ndependent: 1. Monitor vital signs closely. Observe for hypertension, peripheral/ dependent edema, and changes in mentation. Maintain accurate I &O.
2. Encourage oral fluids up to 3000 mL daily, within cardiac tolerance, if indicated.
3. Encourage patient to void every2-4 hours and when urge is noted. 4. Encourage meticulous catheter and perineal care.
Dependent: 1. Administer medications as prescribed.
1. Loss of kidney function results in decreased fluid elimination and accumulation of toxic wastes may progress to complete renal shutdown. 2. Increased circulating fluid maintains renal perfusion and flushes kidneys, bladder, and ureters of sedimented bacteria. Note: Initially, fluids may be restricted to prevent bladder distension until adequate urinary flow is reestablished.
3. May minimize over distension of the bladder.
4. Reduces risk of ascending infection
1. Pharmacologic regimen helps in faster recovery.
