INTRODUCTION:
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common type of infection that occurs in the urinary tract
which includes the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder and the urethra. The symptoms of a UTI include
pain or a burning sensation during urination (dysuria), a frequent need to urinate, and lower
abdominal pain.
Normally, urine is sterile. It is usually free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi but does contain fluids,
salts, and waste products. An infection occurs when tiny organisms, usually bacteria from the digestive
tract, cling to the opening of the urethra and begin to multiply. The urethra is the tube that carries
urine from the bladder to outside the body. Most infections arise from one type of bacteria,
Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the colon. Any abnormality of the urinary tract that
obstructs the flow of urine (a kidney stone, for example) sets the stage for an infection. An enlarged
prostate gland also can slow the flow of urine, thus raising the risk of infection. People with diabetes
have a higher risk of a UTI because of changes in the immune system. Any other disorder that
suppresses the immune system raises the risk of a urinary infection.
The infection is usually mild and usually resolves within four to five days. Antibiotics can be
used to help speed up the recovery time. However, some patients find that they experience repeated
UTIs, and that they require long-term treatment with antibiotics to prevent the infection returning.
Complications of a UTI are uncommon, but serious, and include kidney failure, where the
kidneys lose almost all of their functioning capability and blood poisoning, also known as sepsis These
complications usually only affect people with a pre-existing health problem, such as diabetes because
of the changes in immune system, and weakened immune system (the body’s natural defence against
infection).
UTIs are a very common type of infection particularly in women. It is estimated in the
Philippines that one woman in three will have a UTI before the age of 24, and that half of all women
will have at least one UTI during their lifetime. This is less common in men. It is estimated that every
year in the Philippines, in otherwise healthy men, only one in every 2,000 will develop a UTI.
This case presentation is done to increase our awareness with regards to infections affecting
the urinary system. This is to widen our knowledge and to have a strong background about urinary
tract infection. This case presentation will definitely help us in future purposes; this will be our
foundation when we encounter such in the field we’ve chosen.
OBJECTIVES:
General Objectives:
This case presentation was designed to develop a holistic and patient centered nursing care and
responsibilities. This is to broaden the knowledge of the presenters as well as the audience with
regards to Urinary Tract Infection; this is also designed to enhance skills and attitudes in the
application of nursing process and management of the disease.
Specific Objectives:
-For the participants/critics, for us presenters, for the patient & significant others to have a
better understanding on the disease process.
-To identify the factors (predisposing, precipitating or etiologic agent if any) that causes the
disease.
-To identify the sign and symptoms manifested by the patient with Urinary Tract Infection and
perform further assessment to be able to recognize appropriate nursing intervention to be
rendered.
-Discuss the anatomy and physiology and how it is being altered the disease process.
-To have the pathophysiology and to trace the occurrence of Urinary Tract Infection.
-To utilize properly the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention,
evaluation) as the framework for the care of the patient.
-To select appropriate nursing diagnosis for the patient with UTI based on assessment findings.
-To learn various medications, it’s condition, adverse effects & accompanying nursing
responsibilities.

2 kidneys - a pair of purplish-brown organs located below the ribs toward the middle of the
back. Their function is to:
The kidneys remove urea from the blood through tiny filtering units called nephrons.
Each nephron consists of a ball formed of small blood capillaries, called a glomerulus, and a
small tube called a renal tubule.
Urea, together with water and other waste substances, forms the urine as it passes through the
nephrons and down the renal tubules of the kidney.
2 ureters - narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Muscles in the ureter walls continually tighten and relax forcing urine downward, away from the
kidneys. If urine backs up, or is allowed to stand still, a kidney infection can develop. About every 10 to
15 seconds small amounts of urine are emptied into the bladder from the ureters.
bladder - a triangle-shaped, hollow organ located in the lower abdomen. It is held in place by
ligaments that are attached to other organs and the pelvic bones. The bladder's walls relax and
expand to store urine, and contract and flatten to empty urine through the urethra. The typical
healthy adult bladder can store up to two cups of urine for 2 to 5 hours.
2 sphincter muscles - circular muscles that help keep urine from leaking by closing tightly like a
rubber band around the opening of the bladder.
nerves in the bladder - alert a person when it is time to urinate, or empty the bladder.
urethra - the tube that allows urine to pass outside the body.
The brain signals the bladder muscles to tighten, which squeezes urine out of the bladder. At
the same time, the brain signals the sphincter muscles to relax to let urine exit the bladder
through the urethra. When all the signals occur in the correct order, normal urination occurs.
