This episode delves into the structures, functions, and assessment of the urinary system, as outlined in Chapter 49 of Medical-Surgical Nursing by Lewis. We explore the key roles of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra in fluid regulation, blood pressure control, and waste elimination. Listeners will gain insight into the physiology of urine formation, age-related changes in the urinary system, and strategies for conducting a thorough physical and diagnostic assessment. This is essential knowledge for understanding and managing urinary system disorders in clinical practice.
