About Elimination
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources split into two main threads: bowel elimination and urinary elimination. Ostomy care sits between them, and a few items cover related ground such as bariatrics and ostomy products.
- Bowel elimination: the mind map Ch 47: Bowel Elimination (P&P) walks through the gastrointestinal organs, digestion and peristalsis. Notes on chapter 37 add key terms such as bowel incontinence and bowel-training programmes.
- Urinary elimination: several mind maps follow Potter chapter 46, and the notes for chapter 36 cover urine specimen collection and terms such as bacteriuria and autonomic bladder.
- Catheters and ostomies: the mind maps Urinary Catheter, Self- Catheterization, Ostomy care and Changing an Ostomy Pouch focus on practical technique.
Where to start
Begin with the Bowel Elimination quiz. Its opening question has a patient who gets diarrhoea and cramping after ice cream, so it asks you to link assessment findings to a likely cause. Your answers show which areas need work.
Next, open the map that matches your weak spot. Urinary Incontinence Assess & Intervene explains incontinence as the involuntary loss of urine. Urinary Catheter covers indwelling, transurethral catheterisation and Foley catheters with continuous drainage.
Using quizzes and maps together
Work in short loops. Take a quiz, note the questions you missed, then read the matching map branch. Return to the quiz later and see whether the answers come more easily.
- Take a quiz such as Promoting Urinary Elimination.
- Read the map for the topic you missed.
- Learn the terms with a flashcard deck, such as Urinary Elimination Terms or Bowel elimination terms.
- Check your understanding with the chapter 36 summary questions.
The deck on colostomy management is useful for the practical side, covering stoma caps, pouch seals, odour and intestinal gas.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Try the Bowel Elimination quiz. It starts with a patient assessment scenario, so you can quickly see how well you link symptoms to causes. Afterwards, move to a mind map on the area you found hardest, such as urinary catheters or incontinence.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 20 mind maps. They cover bowel elimination, urinary elimination, catheterisation, self-catheterisation, incontinence assessment and ostomy care, including changing an ostomy pouch. Several follow textbook chapters, so they work well beside your own reading.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 30 contributors have shared quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes here, so styles and depth vary. Compare a few on the same topic to get a fuller picture.
Who is this unit for?
It suits university students and professional candidates studying nursing fundamentals, and teachers looking for ready-made material. Learners can practise terminology, assessment and care procedures, while teachers can pick maps or quizzes to share.
What if I can't find a topic I need?
Look through the flashcard decks and notes, as terms often appear there under different titles. If a topic is still missing, you can build your own map or flashcards, or write notes to fill the gap.
