Movement of Fluids
Movement of a high concentrated solution to low concentrated solution?
What is diffusion?
Normal sodium level
What is 136 - 145
What type of fluids remove water from the extracellular space into the intracellular space (Isotonic, Hypotonic, or Hypertonic)
Hypotonic
abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces
Edema
Balance between fluids and electrolytes that keeps body functioning.
Homeostasis
Movement of fluid and solutes from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure?
What is filtration?
What electrolyte is primarily found in the skeletal system?
Calcium
Normal saline(0.9%NaCl), Lactated Ringer (LR), D5W (5% Dextrose in water)
Medical conditions that can cause FVE?
heart failure, cirrhosis, renal failure, stress, corticosteroids, hypertension, stress conditions, and adrenal gland disorders
Necessary for many bodily functions and is essential for life
Water
Substances that moves across membranes from less concentrated solution to more concentrated solution and energy is needed?
What is active transport?
Electrolyte that is vital for skeletal, cardiac, smooth muscle function
What is Potassium
What regulates our fluid intake?
Thirst center in hypothalamus regulates fluid intake
Cardiovascular effects on FVD patient?
Tachycardia, Flat neck veins, decreased capillary refill
Electrolyte that controls and regulates water balance
Sodium
Total Concentration of solutes?
What is osmolality
Normal Potassium Level
3.5–5.3 mEq/L
Main organ responsible for maintaining homeostasis
Kidneys
Severe generalized body swelling
Anasarca
Electrolyte that is responsible for fatal dysrhythmias and serious neuromuscular disorders if too high or low?
Potassium
Movement of water across cell membranes from less concentrated solution to more concentrated solution?
What is osmosis?
Electrolyte that is essential for functioning of muscles, nerves, RBCs?
What is Phosphate
Fluid loss through skin and lungs that can't be measured
Insensible fluid loss
A patient is being admitted with dehydration due to nausea and vomiting. Which fluid would you expect the patient to be started on?
0.45% sodium chloride (½ NS) or 0.225% sodium chloride (¼ NS)
