The nurse educator is teaching a group of nursing students the pathophysiologic reasons related to genitourinary (GU) disorders in the pediatric population. Which statements are appropriate for the nurse educator to include in the teaching session?
1. "Incomplete organ development during fetal development is the cause of many GU disorders."
2. "Improper placement of the urethra in vagina is one cause of GU disorders."
3. "GU disorders in the pediatric population can be caused by hydronephrosis."
4. "GU disorders in the pediatric population are not caused by infections."
5. "Anatomic obstruction or incomplete nerve innervation can cause GU disorders."
Correct Answers: 1,3,5
Rationale: Pathophysiologic causes of GU disorders in the pediatric population include incomplete organ development during fetal development; hydronephrosis; and anatomic obstruction or incomplete nerve innervations. Improper placement of the urethra in the penis, not the vagina, is another pathophysiologic cause of GU disorders. GU disorders can also be caused by infection.
