Bladder scanning to measure urine volume

CPD hours:
1

A bladder scan is a non-invasive test that is used to measure the volume of urine the bladder. It is commonly performed by nurses in hospital and community settings.

This module outlines the indications for a bladder scan to measure urine volume and provides a step-by-step guide to performing the test. It also highlights pitfalls and clinical conditions that may affect clinical findings.

This module is part of our short module series, designed to provide a brief overview of the subject matter.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
