Passage of fluid through a partial barrier separating the fluid from certain particles that are too large to pass through the semipermeable membrane
Filtration
100
Full thickness tissue loss, involving deep tissue of muscle, fascia, tendon, joint capsule and sometimes bone
Stage IV
100
Fluid volume excess
hypervolemia
100
Breakdown of the total WBC into percentages
Differential
200
97-107 mEq/L
Chloride (Cl-)
200
Allows a substance to flow over naturally from an area of higher concentration into an area of lower concentration.
Diffusion
200
A hard, dry, dead tissue that has a leathery appearance
Eschar
200
Excessive thirst
Polydipsia
200
The most common test ordered
CBC
300
3.5-5.3 mEq/L
Potassium (K+)
300
Process in which water moves through a semipermeable membrane from the side where the fluid is lowest in solute concentration to the side where the fluid is highest in solute concentration
Osmosis
300
When the body stops the bleeding associated with a fresh wound
Hemostasis
300
The loss of fluid only, resulting in an increase of electrolyte concentrations in the remaining body fluid
Dehydration
300
During and after a colonoscopy, observe the patient for signs of possible
Bowel obstruction

8.2-10.2 mg/dL
Calcium (CA++)
400
The force the volume of fluid exerts against the capillary walls
Hydrostatic pressure
400
Wound is left open for a time to allow granulation tissue to form, then it is sutured closed
Third intention
400
When there is a fracture without trauma
Pathological fracture
400
Scans that are done to provide imaging of the coronary vessels to detect narrowing
Radionuclide scanning
500
2.4-4.5 mg/dL
Phosphorus
500
Fluids are shifted to areas where they can no longer contribute to fluid and electrolyte balance between ICF and ECF
Third spacing
500
This bacterium is present on the skin of all people, so it easily enters wounds unless special precautions are followed
Staphylococcus aureus
500
A state of balance essential to maintain basic cellular functions and sustain life
Homeostasis
500
