The patient is experiencing difficulty urinating and defecating for the past few days. A nursing assessment found the patient to be pale, weak, and with poor skin turgor. Vital signs were stable. The nursing diagnosis is impaired urinary and bowel elimination related to nervous system dysfunction. Short term goals are for the patient to demonstrate techniques to prevent retention and infection and feel self-control after 2-3 days. Long term goals are for the patient to maintain balanced intake and output, participate in a daily bowel program, and establish a regular elimination schedule. Planned nursing interventions include teaching self-catheterization, instituting a bladder training program, recommending proper perineal care and fluid intake, and educating

Rationale: This method helps patient maintain autonomy and encourages self-care. Indwelling catheter may be required, depending on patient’s abilities and degree of urinary problem. Institute bladder training program or timed voidings as appropriate. Rationale: Helps restore adequate bladder functioning; lessens the occurrence of incontinence and bladder infection. Recommend good hand washing and proper perineal care. Rationale: Reduces skin irritation and the risk of ascending infection. Ensure fluid consumption of at least 3000 mL/day, unless contraindicated. Rationale: This prevents impaction because a moist stool can move through the bowel more easily. Encourage the intake of natural bulking agents to thicken stools, for example, foods such as banana, rice, and yogurt. Rationale: These foods help provide bulk to the stool by absorbing fluids from the stool. Educate the patient and caregiver the importance of fluid and fiber in maintaining soft, bulky stool. Rationale: This improves personal efficacy and can enhance compliance and participation with the therapeutic regimen.
Educate the patient on the
importance of establishing a regular schedule for bowel elimination. Rationale: Knowledge helps the patient and family understand the rationale for treatment and assists the patient in assuming responsibility for self-care later.
