Electrolytes are important for the following functions (4):
Maintaining fluid balance, contributing to acid base regulation, facilitating enzyme reactions, transmitting neruromuscular reactions
Loss of ECF volume can lead to:
hypovolemia
Lab values with FVD will be: (increased or decreased):
INcreased
Formula for how much fluid you should be taking: __mL/Kg/Hr:
0.5mL/kg/hr
Normal HCT for men:
40-54%
Atrial natriueretic facor increases ___________ _______, which increases excretion of ___ & ___
glomerular filtration ; sodium & water
Most common form of dehydration:
isotonic dehydration . It is proportional
Treatment for FVD:
Oral rehydration, monitor VS & LOC, oxygen (if needed), daily weight, I&O, IV replacement
Renin is released from _____ cells
Glomerular
Normal HCT values for females:
36-46%
Protein promotes body fluid retention by maintaining the:
intravascular colloind osmotic pressure
Causes of Isotonic dehydration:
Sweating, diuretics/polyuria, bleeding, burns, dysphagia, NPO, confusion
FVE is caused by:
Water & sodium retained in body
Increased hydrostatic pressure
Decreased colloid osmotic pressure
Increased ISF osmotic pressure
Blocked lymphatic drainage
Renin causes:
vasoconstriction
Reflexive incontinence:
Predictable/involuntary voiding without the Need to void/bladder fullness
Dehydration:
Risk factors for FVD:
NPO, Diarrhea, vomiting, hemorrhage, NG suctioning
Risk factors for FVE:
Stress, excessive Sodium intake, heart renal & liver failure, pregnancy, excessive IV fluids with Normal saline solution
Renin releases ______ from renal cortex:
aldosterone
Urine specific gravity normal values:
1.005-1.030
FVD:
Loss of body fluid from intravascular, interstitial, and or intracellular fluid spaces in our body
Clinical manifestations of FVD:
Thirst, dry muscous membranes, dry tongue
diaresis, hemorrhage
decreased urination, concentrated urine
cool & clammy skin, flat neck veins, decreased skin turgor
Clincial manifestations of FVE:
Increased BP, bounding pulse, tachycardia, tachypnea, altered mental state, confusion, dizziness, coma
Distended neck veins, crackles, wheezing, short of breath, pitting edema, weight gain, anarsca (edema of whole body)
Renin retains ________ in kidneys
Sodium
