ABSTRACT
People who are at risk of urinary tract infection should be observed for signs such as
cloudy, foul-smelling urine. Chapter 9 has a section on urinalysis and explains how
urinary tract infection might be suspected and when a specimen of urine should be
sent for microscopy, culture and sensitivity. Marion would require continence aids,
but consideration must be given to body image, comfort and skin care, and as to
how continence can be promoted, rather than only contained.
