Identify the goal of the urinalysis assessment
Urinalysis is an assessment on My Hayne’s urine. The goal of this assessment is to diagnose and
monitor Mr. Hayne’s medical condition. This is because his urine output has increased despite
being admitted with acute kidney failure. By checking the appearance, concentration and the
contents of Mr. Hayne’s urine, this assessment will help determine the cause of the problem as
well as monitor the condition and effectiveness of the treatment.
Explain why they are important in relation to Mr Hayne’s renal function
In relation to Mr. Hayne’s renal function, urinalysis is very crucial in identifying renal
impairments, monitoring the progress of the disease as well as checking whether the kidneys are
removing excess amounts of proteins. According to Piech and Wycislo (2019), urinalysis helps
detect renal disorders. This assessment is thus important because it will help identify the renal
abnormalities present in Mr. Haynes.
Describe specifically how you will conduct undertake? these assessments.
When conducting the urinalysis, I will collect Mr. Hayne’s urine sample and evaluate it using
dipstick teat which involves placing the urine sample on strips of chemicals so as to detect
abnormalities. Delanghe and Speeckaert (2016) argue that dipstick test helps determine if certain
substances are present or if their levels are above the normal by changing the color of the
chemical strips. This test will therefore help identify the PH, protein and sugar levels in the
urine, concentration of particles and blood presence in the urine. All these are essential in
diagnosing and monitoring Mr. Hayne’s medical condition.
