In this essential episode we take a deep dive into kidney and urinary system disorders—from common infections to life-altering chronic diseases. Understanding how to assess, intervene, and educate patients with renal and urinary issues is a must-have skill for every nursing student.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The anatomy and function of the renal and urinary systems
- Common conditions like urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- Nursing roles in monitoring labs (BUN, creatinine, GFR), managing fluid balance, and supporting renal replacement therapy (dialysis)
- Key assessments including intake/output tracking, urinalysis interpretation, and bladder scans
- Patient education strategies for prevention, lifestyle changes, and medication adherence
We connect physiology to bedside care with case examples and study tips to prepare you for both exams and clinicals.
💧 Perfect for: Nursing students in med-surg or fundamentals, those preparing for NCLEX, or anyone wanting a stronger understanding of renal and urinary health.
