Basics
I am another word for overhydration.
What is hypervolemia?
I am the name for negatively (-) charged ions.
What is anion?
Bases are represented by this measurement.
What is HCO3?
I am the fluid type with a low salt concentration. I include 0.45% saline or 1/2 normal saline.
What is hypotonic solution?
I am secreted by epithelial cells (cerebrospinal,
pleural, peritoneal, synovial fluids).
What is Transcellular fluid?
I am a compartment where body fluid is distributed within a cell.
What is Intracellular?
I am low serum sodium with the clinical manifestations resulting from changes to the brain that may cause seizures, lethargy, confusion, mental status, changes, tremors, and weakness.
What is hyponatremia?
I result in increased CO2 and increased H+ concentrations. My main symptom or cause is a decreased RR or shallow, ineffective breathing.
What is respiratory acidosis?
I include IVP insulin, dextrose IVP, and calcium gluconate. The patient should be on telemetry prior to administration.
What is potassium reduction cocktail?
Adult body weight is
this percentage body fluid.
What is 55-60%?
I am fluid located between the cells and outside of the blood vessels.
What is interstitial fluid?
My normal range is 3.5-5 and abnormalities can cause cardiac arrhythmias and muscle weakness.
What is potassium?
What is respiratory alkalosis?
I have a high salt concentration and include 3% saline solutions.
What is hypertonic solution?
Evaluate the ABG:
pH: 7.21
CO2: 38
HCO3: 12
What is metabolic acidosis?
I am another name for dehydration.
What is hypovolemia?
I am a serum calcium level < 8.6. Symptoms of me include changes in the muscle including the heart, muscular weakness or tetany, changes to rhythm, changes to deep tendon reflexes, positive Chvostek’s and Trousseau’s sign, frequent, painful muscle spasms in the foot or calf, paresthesia of the fingers and lips, and seizure risk.
What is hypocalcemia?
I result in an increased HCO3 and decreased H+
concentration. My risk factors include nausea/vomiting, oral ingestion of excessive, amounts of antacids, prolonged NG suction, and medications.
What is metabolic alkalosis?
I am a type of solution that includes 0.9% NaCL or normal saline, D5W, and D5LR.
What are isotonic solutions?
I am the name of a positively (+) charged ion.
What is a cation?
I am caused by severe fluid overload. My symptoms include anxiety, tachycardia, dyspnea, increased WOB, crackles, productive cough with frothy pink-
tinged sputum, O2 requirement and/or respiratory support, and distended neck veins
What is pulmonary edema?
This can happen if IV calcium is given to quickly.
What is cardiac arrest?
My normal range is 7.35-7.45.
What is pH?
What is uncompensated respiratory acidosis?
Analyze the ABG -
pH: 7.58
CO2: 25
HCO3: 25
What is uncompensated respiratory alkalosis?
