By creating a shared space that fosters and educates about the progress of nursing science, we empower the future of the nursing profession. Additionally, when we promote and instruct in a culture of scientific learning everyone continues to evolve. Cultivating a culture of science will enhance the knowledge on all levels and lay the groundwork for exceptional care.

Today's Science: Hematuria (Presence of Blood in Urine)

Discussion: Renal calculi, also known as kidney stones, can obstruct the urinary tract when they become lodged. Passing stones through urine can lead to hematuria. Treatment involves removing the blockage and eliminating the stones by taking the following steps:

• Encourage fluids. This will help in passing of the stone

• Strain urine for stones. Stones can be analyzed for potential diet change.

• Surgery. Sometimes stones can only be removed by surgery.
