Urinary System
This urinary tract, from kidney to urethral
meatus, is sterile and resistant to
bacteria. However, a UTI can occur when
bacteria ascend the urethra and bladder
and colonize, causing infection.
This infection causes painful urination,
flank pain, hematuria, and bacteriuria,
dysuria
May lead to pyelonephritis, cystitis, and
systemic infection.
Assess changes in patient's patient's urinary urgency
and frequency.
Assess patient's knowledge about
preventing UTIs and how they occur.
Assess patient's urine: color, concentration,
odor, and volume.
Renal failure
Sepsis
Urine culture
STI tests
CT scan
Encourage patient to void frequently to
empty the bladder completely. This can
reduce the amount of bacteria in the urine.
Administering anlgesics and application
of heat pad can help relieve pain.
Educate patient on urinating after taking
baths and sexual intercourse. Educate
patient on use of cotton underwear.
Altered urinary elimination related to
infection
Acute pain related to infection
Self-care deficit related to urinary tract
infection.
Functional Health Pattern
Escherichia coli
Elimination
At risk for injury to urnary tract related to
indwelling catheter as evidenced by urinary
tract infection.
This test involves identifying
microorganisms that are present in a
patient's urine sample.
AUTI can be transmitted sexually.
This imaging test can detect
pyelonephritis.
Bacteria can spread throughout the entire
urinary system.
Bacteria that invades the urinary system
can result in the bacteria entering the
bloodstream, causing sepsis.

This UTI concept map nursing depicts the various symptoms and treatments for urinary tract infection. A simple urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection of the bladder and surrounding structures. These patients have no structural abnormalities and comorbidities, such as diabetes, being immunocompromised, or being pregnant. Uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) is also known as cystitis or lower UTI. UTIs affect 40% of women in the United States at some point in their lives, making them one of the most common infections. UTI is uncommon in circumcised males, and any male UTI is considered complicated. Many cases of uncomplicated UTI resolve spontaneously without treatment, but many patients seek treatment for symptoms such as those depicted in this UTI concept map nursing.
