DIAGNOSE WITH UTI
UTI
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection
that affects the urinary system. The urinary
system works to remove waste and extra
water from the body. It includes the kidneys,
two ureters, the bladder, and the urethra.
Women are at greater risk of developing a

UTI than are men. If an infection is limited to
the bladder, it can be painful and annoying.
But serious health problems can result if a UTI
spreads to the kidneys.

Invasion residing in the gut.This bacteria makes its way to the
periurethral area, around the opening of the urethra.
PROCESS Colonization
The bacteria latch onto the urethral opening through
appendages like pili that help them stick. This initial
colonization sets the stage for further ascent.
Throughout this process,
the body tries to fight
back with white blood Ascending the Short urethras in women and improper wiping (front to
cells to eliminate the Tract: back) after toileting increase the risk of bacteria traveling
up the urethra to the bladder.
bacteria. This can cause
the various signs and
symptoms we associate Bladder Infection If the bacteria establish themselves in the bladder, it
with UTIs. (Cystitis): triggers inflammation in the bladder lining. This is the
most common UTI type.

urine determine which medicine is used and how long you need
to take it.

Medicines commonly used for simple UTIs include:

Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Bactrim DS)
Fosfomycin (Monurol)
Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Macrobid, Furadantin)
Cephalexin
Ceftriaxone

as evidenced by frequency, urgency,
hesitancy, or dysuria (painful urination).
Deficient knowledge related to lack of

information about UTI, risk factors, and
3 preventive measures as evidenced by
verbalization of inaccurate information or
inability to identify risk factors.
Nursing Interventions
Perform a comprehensive assessment of pain. Determine the location, characteristics, onset,
1 duration, frequency, quality, and severity of pain via assessment.
Assess the voiding pattern (frequency and amount). Compare urine output with fluid

intake. Note specific gravity.
3 Observe for cloudy or bloody urine and foul odor. Dipstick urine as indicated.
