Pediatrics Chapter 26: The Child With Genitourinary Dysfunction
from Learn Nursing 101 Hosted by LN101
In this Pediatrics episode, we walk through Chapter 26, which focuses on genitourinary dysfunction in infants and children, including disorders affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. We’ll review assessment of renal and urinary function, common laboratory and diagnostic studies, and key nursing responsibilities such as intake and output monitoring, blood pressure assessment, and specimen collection. You’ll also hear an overview of common genitourinary conditions, including urinary tract infections, vesicoureteral reflux, obstructive uropathies, and congenital anomalies such as hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and bladder exstrophy. This episode provides a detailed, exam-focused review to help nursing students recognize genitourinary disorders and apply appropriate nursing care to protect renal function and support children and their families.
