Urinary Tract Infection
SN instructed that urinary tract infection generally develops when bacteria enter the urinary tract and begin multiplying. The most common urinary tract infections are cystitis, which affects the bladder, and urethritis, which affects the urethra. Urinary tract infections are the second most common type of infection that develop in the body. Symptoms of the infection include burning or pain during urination, an urge to urinate often, pressure in the lower belly, foul-smelling urine, back pain below the ribs, tiredness or shakiness, fever and urine that looks reddish or cloudy. A urinary tract infection is more likely to occur in women than men, and it affects people of all ages.

Instructed patient about S/S of possible urinary tract infection, such as, back pain, burning, oliguria, dysuria, retention, fever, etc.
SN instructed that the most commonly experienced symptom across individuals with UTIs is a burning sensation during urination. The passage through which urine passes to be expelled from the body becomes tender due to the infection; when urine goes through it, the person experiences a painful sensation that mostly doesn’t last post urination. Since in a lot of cases UTIs are not present with signs, if a burning pain is felt during urination, the infection may be strong, and thus seeking treatment at the earliest is recommended.
SN educated caregiver on the new medication. Phenazopyridine relieves urinary tract pain, burning, irritation, and discomfort, as well as urgent and frequent urination caused by urinary tract infections, surgery, injury, or examination procedures. However, phenazopyridine is not an antibiotic. Phenazopyridine stains clothing, because it will turn your urine color into bright orange color.
