Now this slide, I listed the five things
that should not be present in your urine.
00:06
Relax.
00:07
I'm going to give you two categories
to loop them in,
but let's go through the five nitrites
ketones, leukocyte, ester, ace.
00:15
That's an enzyme produced by leukocytes
or white cells,
bacteria or yeast.
00:21
Okay, ketones
that's in a category all by itself.
00:25
If this is a diabetic client,
we've got a problem.
00:28
This is they're ripping through
fat for energy
instead of being able
to use the glucose in their body.
00:34
So that's its own category.
00:36
But these other four nitrites
leukocyte esterase bacteria
and yeast are all four signs that we've
got a problem with a possible infection.
00:48
So we definitely need
a microscopic analysis.
00:52
Now, I'm
not usually a big fan of multiple lists,
but these are five things
you need to know.
00:58
I'll walk you through each one, but
these are really important that you know
what each one of these five things
can tell you about your patient's health.
