Urinal (health care)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A urinal is a bottle for urination. It is most frequently used in health care for patients who find it impossible or difficult to get out of bed. Urinals are most frequently used for male patients due to the ease of their use with male anatomy. Though female urinals exist, they are more difficult to use, and the common practice for females is to use a bedpan.
Urinals allow the patient who has cognition and movement of his arms to toilet independently.
Urinals can also be used for measuring the amount of urine produced by a patient on input & output (I & O), even if not used by the patient for toileting.
