In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor reviews urinary tract infections (UTIs)—one of the most common but high-stakes topics for nurses.

What You’ll Learn:

• UTI basics: lower (cystitis) vs. upper (pyelonephritis)

• Most common cause: E. coli

• Key symptoms: dysuria, frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain

• Pyelonephritis signs: fever, chills, CVA tenderness, N/V

• Risk factors: sexual activity, douching, catheters, incomplete bladder emptying

• Diagnostics: urinalysis & culture (not 24-hr urine)

• Nursing priorities: hydration, antibiotics, comfort measures, client education

• Prevention tips: front-to-back wiping, urinate after intercourse, cranberry for prevention (not treatment)

Perfect for students prepping for NCLEX, nurses reviewing infection control, or anyone wanting a clear breakdown of lower vs. upper UTI care.
