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?
Rapid bounding pulse, >bp, distended veins, Edema, weight gain, <BUN, < Hct<pO2, pulmonary congestion.
What are some treatments for Fluid volume excess
Reduce fluids, watch Na, diuretics, hemokialysis, VS, I&O, weight, edema, skincare
Name 4 Extracellular Electrolytes.
Na, Cl, Ca, PO4
Name 3 Intracellular Electrolytes.

True
Renal Failure raises MG and K?
False it raises K and PO4
Cell damage raises Mg and K?
True
Blood transfusions lower k and elevate Ca?
