What percentage of total body weight is water in an..
adult, infant, elderly |
adult 50-60%TBW
infant 77% elderly 45% |
|
What electrolytes follow water?
|
Sodium and Calcium
|
|
The general functions of fluids and electrolytes are?
(3) |
transport nutrients, gases and waste products
|
|
What is the movement of water from an area of lesser concentration of solutes to a greater concentration of solutes?
|
Osmosis
|
|
What is the movement of solutes from a greater concentration to lesser consentration?
|
Diffusion
|
|
What requires energy to move from lesser to higher concentration?
exp Na/K pump |
Active Transport
|
|
What is the passage of fluid from high to low pressure areas called?
What kind of pressure is this? |
Filtration
Hydrostatic pressure |
|
What F & E movement is considered going "down hill?"
|
Diffusion
|
|
What F & E movement is considered going "pumping up hill?"
|
Active transport
|
|
What is osmolarity?
|
it is the pulling power, or concentration of particles in a solution.
|
|
A solution that has the same concentration of particles as plasma is called?
|
Isotonic solution
|
|
What does a hypertonic solution do to cells?
|
Because a hypertonic solution has a higher osmolarity water moves out of cells and is drawn into the intravascular compartment. Making the cells shrink!
|
|
What does hypotonic solution do to cells?
|
a hypotonic solution has a lower osmolarity in the intravascular space and moves out of this space into intracellular space. Making the cells swell and even burst.
|
|
What are 3 types of Isotonic IV solutions?
|
0.9 NS, RL (ringers lactate), D5W
|
|
What are 2 types of Hypotonic IV solutions?
|
0.45 NaCl (half NS)
0.33 NaCl (1/3 NS) |
|
Name 4 Hypertonic IV solutions?
|
D5 0.9NS
D5 0.45 NS D5RL D10W |
|
Filtration is infulenced by 2 types of pressures?
|
Hydrostatic pressure- pushing force out of artery
Colloid osmotic (oncotic) pressure-pulling force, plasma proteins (albumin) in IVS or plasma |
|
What is desirable amt of fluid intake and loss in adults per 24 hrs?
|
1500 to 3500 mL each 24 hrs
|
|
T or F kidneys have the ability to retain or eliminate electrolytes?
|
True
|
|
ADH is... and does...
|
Anti diuretic hormone
It causes the kidneys to retain water. |
|
Aldosterone causes
|
vasoconstriction, Na, and water retention
|
|
Atrial Naturetic Peptide does what to ADH release?
|
it stops it!
|
|
What is Hypovolemia?
|
deficiency of blood plasma
Loss of water and solutes from ECF Weight loss occurs. |
|
What is Hypervolemia?
|
Excess of plasma
Excessive retention of water and solutes. |
|
Third spacing is
|
Fluids shift from intravascular to tissue space
potential body spaces such as pleural, peritoneal, pericardinal, joint, interstitial spaces. |
|
What might be reasons third spacing exists?
|
third spacing may occur because of severe burns, bowel obstruction, hypoalbuminemia
|
|
Assessment finding in FVD are...
|
> HR, mental status changes, cool pale skin, weak pulses, <capillary refill, concentrated urine, <urine output, Dry mouth, < skin turgor, >BUN, <Hgb/Hct, >Hct if water loss,
Urine specific gravity >1.025 |
|
What are the treatments for FVD?
|
Daily weights, fluid replacement- Iso or hypo tonic IV's, albumin, blood, I&O,
|
|
What is it called when you have an excessive fluid shift to the interstitial spaces.
|
Edema
|
|
What is fluid in the lungs sound like?
Where are they heard first? |
Crackles
First heard in lower lobes of lungs. |
|
What might you find in an assessment for FVE?
|
