Introduction Health History Medical Management Pathophysiology Nursing Assessment Chart SOAPIE
Acute pyelonephritis is a urinary tract infection that has progressed from the lower urinary tract to the upper urinary tract. Most episodes of acute pyelonephritis are uncomplicated but hospitalization may be required. Pyelonephritis is an ascending urinary tract infection that has reached the pyelum (pelvis) of the kidney (nephros in Greek). If the infection is severe, the term "urosepsis" is used interchangeably (sepsis being a systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to infection). It requires antibiotics as therapy, and treatment of any underlying causes to prevent recurrence. It is a form of nephritis. It can also be called pyelitis
Most kidney infections result from lower urinary tract infections, usually bladder infections. Bacteria can travel from the vagina or anus into the urethra and bladder. Because of the location and size of their urethra, women are more prone to have bladder infections than men. In both men and women, lower urinary tract infections may spread to the kidneys, causing pyelonephritis. Congenital abnormalities of the genito-urinary system and also kidney stones can predispose people to get pyelonephritis. Acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis include flank pain, abdominal or pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting, fever (37.8C), and/or cost vertebral angle tenderness
Fever has been strongly correlated with the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis; thus, patients with clinical manifestations of acute pyelonephritis in the absence of fever should be evaluated for alternative diagnoses. Symptoms of cystitis may or may not be present. In some cases, the presentation may mimic pelvic inflammatory disease. Rarely, patients with acute pyelonephritis present with sepsis, multiple organ system dysfunction, shock, and/or acute renal failure.
The estimated annual incidence of pyelonephritis was 27.6 cases per 10,000 persons.Only 7% of cases required hospitalization.Escherichia coli caused 85% of cases, including 6 of 7 cases among inpatients for whom data were available. Of E. coli isolates, 85% were sensitive to trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole, while 99% were susceptible to ciprofloxacin.
The students chose this patient because her case was the most interesting among all the patients in the ward. With this patient, there were a lot of problems that can be easily identified and this caught the students interest from which health teachings and interventions are easily available. In short, her case fits best the criteria for choosing a case study. The students also want to go deeper with this kind of case and learn more from it. This study is a part of the partial requirement in the Intensive Nursing Practicum of the Fourth year college students. This may serve as a reference for each student who will encounter this case soon in their future career as professional nurses. It may also help in developing and widening the knowledge of each health care provider to be more skillful and competent in rendering care among clients with same cases.
As fourth year (N107B) nursing students of Liceo de Cagayan University, within three (3) days of nursing interventions on a client with Acute Pyelonephritis at Polymedic General Hospital, Velez, Cagayan de Oro City, the group will be able to conduct a thorough and comprehensive study of the assigned patient according to the data that was gathered through a series of interviews. The condition of the aforementioned will augment and free of possible complications from the disorder.
Nurse Centered Objectives: After the completion of the study, the nurse researcher will be able to: >Gather the personal information of the client, from his / her past medical history and from the familys health history. >Perform a complete physical assessment of the client. >Make a comprehensive understanding and analysis regarding the laboratory and diagnostic findings, as a part of the nursing responsibilities of every nurse. >Identify the predisposing and precipitating factors of the clients condition. >Determine the dependent and independent function as a nurse in rendering health care services.
The study covers 1 day of assessment and 3 days of care during the students exposure at Polymedic General Hospital and rendered care to the patient from General ward station 7; these includes thorough assessment, giving of nursing interventions, carrying out of the doctors order, analyzing laboratory results, relating the disease condition to the anatomy and physiology of the human body and the pathophysiology of the disease. The focus of the study is from the time when the patient was admitted in the General ward until the 3rd day of the exposure and from when the patient was discharged.
