|
Acidosis
|
– a pH below 7.35 occurs with an accumulation of H+ loss of bases like bicarb (diabetes, diarrhea) (p 11)
|
|
|
Alkadosis
|
– a pH higher than 7.45 occurs when bases accumulate (p 11)
|
|
|
Dehydration
|
– loss of water from the cells of the body (without significant loss of electrolytes) and it is not adequately replaced. (p 6)
|
|
|
Diffusion
|
– solutes move from an area of higher solute concentration of an area of lower solute concentration until equilibrium is established. (p 3)
|
|
|
Edema
· |
– excess fluid in the interstitial spaces
· · |
|
|
(FF), push
|
– IV 24 hr plan for injesting fluids – half of total volume is given during day shift, other half is divided between evening and night shifts; most of that injested during evening shift (p 7)
|
|
|
Force fluids
|
– this is defined as increasing fluids (usually prescribed by a provider) for a client with actual or potential fluid volume deficits. (p 7)
|
|
|
Electrolyte
|
– substances that when placed in solvent (water) will break up into separately charged ions. (p 2)
|
|
|
Pitting edema
|
– edema that leaves a small depression or pit after finger pressure is applied (p 3)
|
|
|
Peripheral edema
|
– tissues of extremeties · Dependent edema – common in places below heart
|
|
|
Pulmonary edema
|
– lung tissues
|
|
|
Hematocrit (Hct.)
|
– the proportion of red blood cells (erythrocytes) to the total blood volume (Koziers 1455) 30 – 50% (p 8)
|
|
|
Milliequivalent
|
– one-thousandth of an equivalent, which is the chemical combining power of a substance (Koziers p 1459)
|
|
|
Osmosis
|
– the solvent (water) passes from an area of lesser solute concentration to an area of greater solute concentration until equilibrium is established. (p 3)
|
|
|
pH
|
– reflects the H+ concentration of the solution or is also the degree to which a solution is acidic or basic. Normal pH of arterial blood is 7.35 – 7.45 (p 11)
