Acid/Alkalosis
Slow, shallow respirations
respiratory acidosis
A solution that has the same osmotic pressure as ICF
Isotonic
Arm swollen, tender, cool to touch
Infiltration
Muscle weakness, lethargy, cardiac day rhythmical, abdominal pain
Hypokalemia
Cation, regulates ECF volume through somatic pressure, maintains neuromuscular irritability
Sodium(Na+)
Hyperventilation
Respiratory alkalosis
A solution that has a lower osmotic pressure(is less concentrated) than that of body fluids
Hypotonic
Site red, tender, warm, IV infusion sluggish
Thrombophlebitis
Muscle spasm, tetany, positive Trosseau sign
Hypocalcemia
Important to nerve transmission and muscle contraction
Potassium
Shock(poor circulation)
Metabolic Acidosis
A solution that has a higher osmotic pressure than that of body fluids
Hypertonic
Vein hard with skin red, swollen, tender, warm. Blood return present
Phlebitis
Fatigue, hypotension, paralysis
Hyperkalemia
A buffer that neutralizes excess acids in the body
Bicarbonate
Vomiting
Metabolic alkalosis
Dextrose 5% in water
Isotonic
Tingling feeling or numbness at or below the catheter insertion site
Nerve damage
Sweating and flushing, respiratory depression
Hypermagnesemia
Necessary for formative n of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Phosphate
Diarrhea
Metabolic acidosis
Saline 0.45%
Hypotonic
Pain at insertion site, edema, burning, pale, fluid leaking around catheter site
Extravasation
Taut skin turgid, intense thirst, oliguria
Hypernatremia
Necessary for building bones and teeth
Magnesium
