The concentration of particles in a solution or its pulling power is called this
What is osmolarity?
100

pH 7.50, PCO2 40, HCO3 30

What is metabolic alkalosis?

100
Sodium
What is 135-145 meq/L?

This electrolyte is found mainly in intracellular fluid. It is key in maintaining cardiac function.

What is potassium?

100
An abnormal accumulation of interstitial fluid, or edema.

What is second spacing?

200

Dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, reported thirst, weak pulse, low BP

What is hypovolemia?

200

ph 7.32 PC02 50, HC03 23

What is respiratory acidosis?

200
Potassium
What is 3.5 - 5.0 meq/L?
200
This is deposited in bone and plays a role in parathyroid hormone regulation
What is calcium?
200
Acids are excreted by this system.
What is the kidneys/renal system?
300

Fluid leaking into the tissue, skin is cool and pale at site.

What is infiltration?

ph 7.58, PCO2 20, HCO3 24

What is respiratory alkalosis?

300
Calcium
What is 8.2-10.7mg/dl?
300

Causes of this electrolyte imbalance include prolonged fasting, chronic alcoholism, and diarrhea.

What is hypomagnesemia?

300
To determine acidosis or alkalosis, one would check this first.
What is pH?
400

Intravascular, interstitial, and transcellular fluids are this type of fluid.

pH 7.20, PCO2 40, HCO3 18

What is metabolic acidosis?

400
Magnesium
What is 1.5-2.5 meq/dl?
400
Maintains blood volume, fluid balance, and major electrolyte in ECF
What is sodium?
400
A positive Chvostek's sign indicates this abnormality.
What is hypocalcemia?
500
This is the best indicator for fluid balance
What is weight?
500
A patient with COPD is suspectible developing C02 retention which in turn cause this.
What is respiratory acidosis?
500
7.35-7.45
What is normal pH?
500
Sudden weight gain, tachycarcdia, distended jugular vein, edema, and crackles are signs of this.
What is hypervolemia?
500
This red streak follows the vein and the skin is hot and inflammed.
What is phlebitis?
