Question
Answer
What % of body wt is fluid?   show
🗑
show Elderly have a lower % of body water  
🗑
How does gender affect % of body fluid?   show
🗑
How does body fat affect % of body fluid?   show
🗑
show Water; a liquid that dissolves other substances  
🗑
show it is necessary to sustain life; affects cell shape and size; maintains body temp; transports gases & wastes throughout the body; almost every organ in the body plays a vital role in maintaining electrolyte balance.  
🗑
Intracellular space (ICF)=   show
🗑
Extracellular space (ECF)=   show
🗑
Third Space fluid= "Held Prisoner"   show
🗑
What is the function of Homeostasis?   show
🗑
show Intracellular (ICF) and Extracellular (ECF); "Act as a Dam"  
🗑
show intravascular (inside the vessels) to extravascular (outside the vessels) and from intracellular (inside the cells) to extracellular (outside the cells)  
🗑
Fluid regulation is dependent on a balance between?   show
🗑
Electrolytes are...   show
🗑
show + charge; Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, & H+ ions  
🗑
Anions...(has the "A" with a - in it)   show
🗑
show ECF (outside the cells) b/c of easier access  
🗑
Na+ is highly concentrated in________and an important _____________?   show
🗑
show ICF (inside the cell)  
🗑
In order to keep Na+ levels higher in ECF (outside the cell) and K+ levels higher in ICF (inside the cell) the body must use_____?   show
🗑
show water (fluid) moves from LOW solute (electrolyte) concentration to a HIGH solute (electrolyte) concentration; a passive process and does not require energy.  
🗑
show # of particles of solute in a unit of fluid based on WEIGHT (mOsm/kg)[wt of the electrolyte, not of the IV bag]; remember  
🗑
Osmolarity= # of particles of solute in a unit of fluid based on ________   show
🗑
show Tonicity  
🗑
Hypotonic solutions= Hypo "LOW" Osmolality; 0.45% NaCl (Normal Saline)   show
🗑
Isotonic solutions= Normal Osmolality; 0.9% NaCl (Normal Saline)   show
🗑
show USED TO DECREASE EDEMA POST-OPERATIVELY & REGULATES URINE OUTPUT & BP; More electrolytes and less water  
🗑
Why would you give an isotonic solution?   show
🗑
Why would you give a hypertonic solution?   show
🗑
When would you NOT give Normal Saline?   show
🗑
Sodium potassium pump...   show
🗑
Diffusion is a ..."fish downstream"   show
🗑
F & E Homeostasis uses almost every organ in our body in order to maintain fluid balance to regulate homeostasis...a problem with one...?   show
🗑
show Cardiac Output (CO)= the amount of blood pumped by the heart/min  
🗑
show CO; affects how much blood or fluid reaches the kidneys.  
🗑
show insensible fluid loss; and are involved in acid-base balance; (acid= sour; base= bitter)  
🗑
show by the "Thirst Center" located in the hypothalmus  
🗑
show ADH; Anti-Diuretic Hormone  
🗑
What does ADH do?   show
🗑
show it is the most significant factor in determining whether excreted urine is concentrated (dark) or dilute (straw color)  
🗑
show Releases aldosterone  
🗑
What affect does Aldosterone have on fluid & electrolyte balance to regulate homeostasis?   show
🗑
What affect does the Parathyroid Gland have on fluid & electrolyte balance to regulate homeostasis?   show
🗑
PTH causes...   show
🗑
show The pituitary releases ADH which stimulates water reabsorption and ↓'s U.O. (urinary output); remember...it keeps you from peeing.  
🗑
show causes vasoconstriction which ↑'s arterial perfusion pressure which stimulates thirst  
🗑
The sympathetic nervous system stimulates release of...?   show
🗑
show volume  
🗑
show regulates BP and water balance; a low BP causes the kidneys to secrete renin, renin stimulates Angio I & Aldosterone which ultimately causes the kidneys to hold onto Na+ and water; ↑'s BP (if BP gets too high need to give ACE inhibitors...-sartans)  
🗑
show sense changes in Na+ concentration in our body  
🗑
show A cardiac hormone; opposite of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone; ANP ↓'s BP,↑'s U.O. ("ANP makes you Pee"); stimulates vasodilation which ↑'s water excretion/U.O.  
🗑
show ↑'d risk of F&E disorders b/c experience changes in F&E's quicker r/t decreased renal, pulmonary (lung), and adrenal function  
🗑
What do you need to assess in geriatric clients to evaluate F&E's?   show
🗑
show The end product of muscle metabolism. The most definitive way of measuring kidney function [better than BUN (blood urea nitrogen]; but will use BUN & CC to measure kidney function.  
🗑
show Oral, IV, SubQ, Enteral (via gut)  
🗑
What are routes of fluid loss?   show
🗑
What is the expected fluid loss per day for the kidneys?   show
🗑
What are insensible losses of fluid?   show
🗑
What is the term for Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD)?   show
🗑
What is the definition of hypovolemia? or When does hypovolemia occur?   show
🗑
show water and electrolytes in the same proportion; an isotonic imbalance.  
🗑
show loss of fluid; but tends to have a high sodium concentration; (thus, the loss of water is not equal to the loss of electrolytes and cannot be called the same thing as hypovolemia.)  
🗑
show hypovolemia  
🗑
show vomiting, diarrhea, GI suctioning, GI fistula  
🗑
show diuretics, Addison's (↓ Aldosterone), Diabetes Insipidus (↓ ADH), osmotic diuresis  
🗑
What are some insensible causes of hypovolemia/isotonic imbalances?   show
🗑
show Hypovolemic Shock  
🗑
What is ascites?   show
🗑
show Administer fluids: Oral route is preferred; may give isotonic IV fluids 0.9% NS or LR (remember they do not cause huge fluid shifts); this will also increase BP  
🗑
show I&O; Daily wts (most sensitive indicator of fluid changes); VS; Notify the MD of lack of response or worsening of symptoms (SBAR)  
🗑
show Elderly, renal failure, diarrhea, C.diff (pooping q 5 seconds), vomiting.  
🗑
show If they are able to receive fluids orally, teach to drink some fluids every hour, etc.  
🗑
show vital signs and daily weights  
🗑
show Expansion of ECF (outside the cell); isotonic imbalance of fluids and electrolytes; circulatory overload  
🗑
show ...your body will try to compensate for fluid overload by fine tuning the circulatory or circulating levels of Aldosterone, ADH & ANP; by altering these levels it causes the kidneys to release additional water and sodium  
🗑
What are the primary Signs/Symptoms of hypervolemia (we are expected to know)?   show
🗑
How do you manage FVE (fluid volume excess)?   show
🗑
show I&O, daily wts, and VS's; notify MD if there is a change in symptoms  
🗑
What pts are at risk for FVE?   show
🗑
show via GI tract  
🗑
Where are electrolytes excreted?   show
🗑
What is the #1 ECF cation?   show
🗑
show controls water distribution; and affects muscle contraction/nerve impulse transmission  
🗑
Why is it important to correct sodium imbalances "slowly"?   show
🗑
show A loss or gain in water; (Water follows salt)  
🗑
show < 120 mEq/L;  
🗑
show Seizures, caused by H2O moving into the brain cell  
🗑
Na+ is regulated by...?   show
🗑
What happens when sodium levels become severely low in the blood (< 120 mEq/L)   show
🗑
show HYPONATREMIA  
🗑
Signs and symptoms of hyponatremia depend on...?   show
🗑
show Anorexia, N/V, cramping  
🗑
What are the neurological signs and symptoms of hyponatremia?   show
🗑
