Fluid 1
Fluid inside the cell is referred to as ______
What is Intracellular fluid?
Type of osmolarity: fluids have lower osmotic pressure than cells -> water going into the cell -> cells expanding and plasma shrinking: _______
What is Hypotonic or hypo-osmotic fluid
The primary function of this electrolyte is to control osmolarity and water balance. It also facilitates nerve and muscle impulses.
What is Sodium?
In severe cases of hyperkalemia, this medication may be given to facilitate the diffusion of potassium back into the cells.
What are Calcium gluconate and insulin/glucose?
To test for this problem of hypocalcemia, the healthcare provider taps on the patient’s facial nerve in from of the ear. A positive response indicating hypocalemia will be a spasm of the side of face back towards the ear showing increased neuromuscular irritability
What is the Chvostek’s sign?
Fluid between the cells is referred to as ______
What is Interstitial fluid?
The type of fluid and electrolytes loss through sweating is this type of fluid loss: _____
What is Insensible fluid loss?
Symptoms of this electrolyte problem include increased temperature, increased thirst, irritability and agitation, weakness, headache, lethargy, seizures, tachycardia, weak/thready pulse, and edema.
What is Hypernatremia?
True or false: undiluted potassium is administered for hypokalemia.
What is False: should be diluted?
This electrolye’s range is from 2.5-4.5mEq/L
What is Phosphorus?
Fluid inside the blood vessels is referred to as ______
What is Intravascular fluid?
This is when fluid increases in the transcellular space: ______
What is Third spacing?
The range for this electrolyte is 98-108 mEq/L
What is Chloride?
Vitamin D aids in this electrolyte's absorption in the body.
What is Calcium?
This electrolyte as a positive correlation with calcium and is found in green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
What is Magnesium?
This is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low to high concentration is called _____
What is Osmosis?
This term indicates generalized edema throughout the body: _____
What is Anasarca?
A deadly complication of hyponatremia is: _____
What is Cerebral edema?
Clinical manifestations of this type of electrolyte imbalance reflect a decreased cell membrane excitability and are often nonspecific. Possible symptoms can include dysrhythmias, decreased DTRs, headache, abdominal pain, and dehydration.
What is Hypercalcemia?
This electrolyte imbalance can be caused by excessive use of laxatives or antacids and may need IV calcium in severe cases.
What is Hypermagnesemia?
Type of osmolarity: fluids have greater osmotic pressure than cells -> water pulling from inside cells to outside -> cells shrinking and plasma expanding: _____
What is Hypertonic or hyperosmotic?
Name the 5 symptoms of fluid volume deficit:
What is - Thirst, altered LOC, hypotension, tachycardia, weak/thready pulse, flat jugular veins, dry mucous membranes, oliguria, weight loss, sunken fontanelles (infant)
This electrolyte is found in large amounts in cantaloupes, raisins, bananas, oranges, green leafy vegetables, and lentils.
What is Potassium?
This electrolyte has an inverse relationship with calcium and is found in dairy, protein sources (i.e. chicken, beef, fish, and nuts), grains, and carbonated beverages.
What is Phosphorus?
A patient with hyperkalemia should be taught about the use of this in seasoning foods.
What is Salt substitute?
