urinary retention - 1mt

Posted: Dec 23, 2010

Pt had hernia surgery, now having urinary retention. Doc says "we did not INSTRUMENT the bladder, therefore, do not believe secondary to infection." I understand what he means here, but just never heard it worded this way. Could this be what he is saying? Any other ideas?

They say that all the time. It is perfectly fine to - type it that way. NM

Hi everyone, thanks for looking at this. I have a discharge summary with a patient with volume overload, renal failure, and electrolyte imbalances, among others. This is an ARNP dictating, and in the plan, she dictates 1500 mL fluid retention. She specifically says retention, but that isn't something they try to do, right? I think it should be fluid restriction, but I don't know if I should change it or flag it. What do you think? Thanks! ...
