Question

1. After reporting painful bladders spasms, Mr. Sanders was given a B&O suppository. For each assessment finding below: decide if the finding shows this intervention was effective/not effective/not related to management of bladder spasm by placing an X in the appropriate column.

	Effective	Not Effective	Not Related
Urine leaking around foley tubing
Bladder scan shows 100 mL
Urinary output is increased
Abdominal incision reddened
Urge to void is decreased

Answer 1

This medication is antimuscuranic in action usually indicated in patients with Foley's catheter .If urine leakage is controlled this medication is effective but in this finding there is urine leakage around the foleys indicating this is not much effective

A urine of 100ml or less than that is the normal residual volume usually after voiding and if this finding occurs it indicates that the medication is effective

It should not lead to increased urination therefore this is not effective

Abdominal incision which is red can be a sign of infection and this management is not related to this problem

The urge to void if decreased indicates the bladder spasm is well controlled and the management is effective.
