IV Fluids 1
Fluid inside the cell is referred to as
What is intracellular?
The type of osmolarity in which fluids have lower osmotic pressure than cells, pulls fluids into the cells resulting to cells expanding and plasma volume shrinking.
What is hypotonic or hypoosmotic solution?
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, these medications may be given to facilitate the diffusion of potassium back into the cells.
What are Calcium gluconate and insulin?
An test perform to assess for signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia, which includes tapping the face just below and in front of the ear to trigger facial twitching of one side of the mouth, nose, and check.
What is Chvostek’s sign?
Fluid between the cells is referred to as
What is interstitial?
Loss of fluid and electrolytes through sweating is this type of fluid loss.
What is insensible fluid loss?
Symptoms of this electrolyte imbalance 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?
This electrolytes range is from 2.5-4.5.
What is phosphorus?
Fluid inside the blood vessels is referred to as
What is intravascular?
The increase of fluid 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 electrolytes absorption in the body.
What is calcium?
This electrolyte has a positive correlation with calcium and is found in green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
What is Magnesium?
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 serious 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?
The type of osmolarity in which fluids have greater osmotic pressure than cells and pulls fluid from inside cells to outside of the cells resulting to cells shrinking and plasma volume expanding.
What is hypertonic or hyperosmotic?
Symptoms of fluid volume deficit are.
What are 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?
