What is fever, burns, vomiting?
200
The loss of water and electrolytes from ECF is called this.
What is hypovolemia?
200
This imbalance increases excitation of nerves and muscles, leading to muscle spasms and tetany
What is Hypocalcemia?
200
Potassium
What is 3.5 - 5.0 meq/L?

What is the hypothalmus?
300
Fluid leaking into the tissue, skin is cool and pale at site.
What is infiltration?
300
This imbalance makes nerve and muscle cells irratable, leading to potentaily fatal cardiac arrhythmias
What is Hyperkalemia?
300
Calcium
What is 8.2-10.7mg/dl?
300
This electrolyte helps with the metabolism of CHO and protein as well as helps with cardiac function and muscle relaxation
What is magnesium?
300
ANP promotes?
What is Sodium Excretion?
400
These hormones regulate fluid balance
What is ADH, Aldosterone and Renin
400
This imbalance results from an excess of body water, such as when someone drinks only water.
What is Hyponatremia?
400
Magnesium
What is 1.5-2.5 meq/dl?

500
This is the best indicator for fluid balance
What is weight?
500
Hallmark symptom of hypotonic hydrations.
What is hyponatremia?
500
96 to 106 mEq/L
