MindMap Gallery Concept Map For Urinary Tract Infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Mind maps are a great resource to help you study. A mind map can take complex topics like plant kingdom and illustrate them into simple points, as shown above.
Mind maps are useful in constructing strategies. They provide the flexibility of being creative, along with the structure of a plan.
Vitamins and minerals are essential elements of a well-balanced meal plan. They help in ensuring that the body is properly nourished. A mind map can be used to map out the different vitamins a person requires.

Pathophysiology
- The urinary tract, from kidney to urethralmeatus, is sterile and resistant tobacteria and colonize, causing infection.
- Escherichia coli
- This infection causes painful urination,flank pain, hematuria, and bacteriuria,dysuria
- May lead to pyelonephritis, cystitis, andsystemic infection.
Assessment
- Assess changes in patient's urinary urgencyand frequency.
- Assess patient's knowledge aboutpreventing UTIs and how they occur.
- Assess patient's urine: color, concentration,odor, and volume.
Complications
- Renal failure
- Bacteria can spread throughout the entireurinary system.
- Sepsis
- Bacteria that invades the urinary systemcan result in the bacteria entering thebloodstream, causing sepsis.
Nursing Interventions
- Encourage patient to void frequently toempty the bladder completely. This canreduce the amount of bacteria in the urine.
- Administering analgesics and applicationof heat pad can help relieve pain.
- Educate patient on urinating after takingbaths and sexual intercourse. Educatepatient on use of cotton underwear.
Tests
- Urine culture
- This test involves identifyingmicroorganisms that are present in apatient's urine sample.
- STI tests
- A UTI can be transmitted sexually.
- CT Scan
- This imaging test can detectpyelonephritis.
Nursing Diagnosis
- Altered urinary elimination related toinfection.
- Acute pain related to infection
- Self-care deficit related to urinary tractinfection.
- At risk for injury to urinary tract related toindwelling catheter as evidenced by urinarytract infection.
