Most common bacterial infection in the U.S.
10 – 20% of females have a UTI during lifetime
E.Coli causes ~90 % of all cultured UTI’s Upper UTI (kidneys/ureters) -
symptoms include> *lower-back/flank pain *fever *headache *nausea/vomiting
Lower UTI (bladder/urethra) - symptoms include> *frequency *urgency *dysuria *hematuria *oliguria *incontinence

Anything that results in urine being ‘held’ in the bladder (more common in females)
If you gotta go … you BETTER go! Dietary factors – certain foods (see Box 28-
1 p 587) Enlarged Prostate (males) – constricts
the urethra, causing urine to be ‘retained’ in the bladder
Female ‘Plumbing’ – due to the short length of urethra, and the proximity of the urethra, vagina, and the anus
![Page 9: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Anti-Bacterials (sulfa-drugs, trimethoprim) kill bacteria, in the urine and systemically Anti-septics (Macrobid, methenamine) antibiotic activity ONLY in the urine ! Analgesics (Pyridium, AZO-standard otc) by topical and local anesthesia on the
lining of the urinary-tractStudy --- Table 28-3 on page 589
![Page 10: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sulfonamides (sulfa-drugs) – take on empty-stomach with a full glass of water
Drink plenty of water throughout the day (eight to ten 8-oz glasses if on a sulfa-drug)
If taking sulfa-drug, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, unless using a good sunscreen !
Complete entire course of UTI drug treatment … even if symptoms improve
![Page 11: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pyridium (phenazopyridine) – changes urine color to orange-red color! May stain clothing
Cranberry juice, Vit-C, prunes make urine more acidic, making antiseptics more effective
Carbonated drinks, citrus fruits make urine less acidic, making antiseptics less effective !
FEVER after starting the drugs may be a sign of a drug-reaction, not a UTI-symptom
![Page 12: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
small, spastic-like bladder (‘tiny-tank’) that empties automatically when filled to a certain point
Tofranil (imipramine) – anti-depressant DDAVP (desmopressin) – an anti-
diuretic that actually increases the re-absorption of water ◦ available as a nasal spray or tablet

Check out the Grains! and Micrograms! Worksheet in Doc Sharing
Grains are the apothecary system of weight measurement
1 grain = 60 mg Written with gr first and followed quantity
◦ Either a Roman numeral or fraction The metric and household systems have the
quantity followed by the unit
![Page 18: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
First step is to convert Roman numeral or fraction into a metric number
gr ¼ = 0.25 grainsgr ss = ½ grains = 0.5 grainsgr V = 5 grains
Next step is to use conversion factor to convert to mg Remember: 1 grain = 60mg
0.25 gr x 60mg/1gr = ___gr 0.5 gr x 60mg/1gr = ___5 gr x 60mg/1gr = ___

Dr. Feelgood ordered: gr 1/100 On hand: mg
◦ First step is to convert gr 1/100 into a metric number
gr 1/100 = 0.01 grains
◦ Our conversion factor is 1 grain = 60mg 0.01 gr x 60mg/1 = 0.6mg

Dr. Skoolizfun ordered: Tylenol gr X q8 hr On hand: Tylenol liquid 160mg/tsp
What is the dose in ml?
◦ 1. gr x = 10 grains◦ 2. 10gr x 60mg/1gr = 600mg◦ 3. Also need to convert our conversion factor:
1 tsp = 5ml so 160mg/tsp = 160mg/5ml◦ 4. 600mg x 5ml/160mg = 18.75 ml
![Page 26: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Dr. Ucandoit ordered keeps changing our patient’s dose. We have azithromycin suspension 100mg/5ml in a 30 ml bottle.
◦ If the patient is to receive 200mg, what is the dose in ml?
![Page 30: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dr. Ucandoit ordered keeps changing our patient’s dose. We have azithromycin suspension 100mg/5ml in a 30 ml bottle.
◦ How many teaspoons is 200mg?
200mg x 5ml/100mg = 10ml
10ml x 1tsp/5ml = 2 tsp
![Page 31: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dr. Ucandoit ordered keeps changing our patient’s dose. We have azithromycin suspension 100mg/5ml in a 30 ml bottle.
◦ If the patient takes 200mg q12h, how many days should the bottle last?
We already calculated 10mg per dose: 10ml x 2 doses/day = 20ml
30ml x 1day/20ml = 1.5 days or 1 and ½ days
![Page 32: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dr. Ucandoit ordered keeps changing our patient’s dose. We have azithromycin suspension 100mg/5ml in a 30 ml bottle.
If the patient takes 100mg daily, how many doses are provided in the bottle?
100mg x 5ml/100mg = 5ml per dose 30ml x 1 dose/5ml = 6 days
![Page 33: Urinary System Disorders Calculating Doses Chapter 28 Chapter 9](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062804/56649e705503460f94b6d2b5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
