    Cystitis

    Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder that is commonly caused by bacterial infections. It predominantly affects women and symptoms include frequent and urgent urination, burning with urination, and blood in the urine. Nursing management focuses on reducing pain and discomfort, decreasing urinary frequency and urgency, and increasing patient education on prevention and treatment, usually involving antibiotics. A sample nursing care plan assesses a patient's urinary symptoms, vital signs, and physical exam before creating a diagnosis of altered urine elimination. Interventions include monitoring for fever, keeping the patient close to the bathroom, giving prescribed medications, providing education and comfort measures.
