Who are at higher risk for fluid related problems
|
elderly and infants
|
|
who has more fluid in body, infant or adult
|
infant @ 70-80 percent water
|
|
extracellular fluid consists of fluid composed in the space between the cells , known as
|
interstitual fluid
|
|
substances whose molecules disoasociate or split into ions when placed in water is
|
electrolytes
|
|
main cation in ECF is
|
sodium
|
|
the amount of pressure required to stop the osmotic flow of water
|
ostmotic pressure
|
|
the osmotic force of solute per unit of weight of solvent is measured by
|
OSMOLALITY
|
|
WHAT IS THE MAJOR SOURCE THAT PUSEHES WATER OUT OFthe vascular system at the capillary level
|
hydrostatic pressure
|
|
losso f pure h20 alone without corresponding loss of sodium is
|
dehydration
|
|
the primary forms of hypervolemia or excess cellular fluid are
|
diuretics and fluid restriction
|
|
flattened neck veins, weak thready pulse, diminished skin turgor, skin warm, dry, wrinkled are signs of
|
hypovolemia
|
|
the easiest measurement of volume status , an increaseof 1kg-1000ml of fluid retnetion , is
|
daily weights
|
|
the primary determinant of ECF osmolarity, playing a major role in conecentration and volume , is
|
sodium
|
|
sodium effects the water distribution between
|
ecf and icf
|
|
sodium is absorbed through what , by what
|
GI track through foods such as unprocessed can goods
|
|
what promotes sodium reasborption from the renal tubules
|
adh
|
|
the ratio of sodium to water is called
|
serum sodiumlevel
|
|
firfst manifested in the CNS, surgery and trauma patients, or renal failure patients, commonly have
|
hyponatremia
|
|
the major ICF cation, intracellular
|
potassium
|
|
plays a role in acid base balance, and muscle cells, cardiac function
|
potassium
|
|
what is the primary route for potassium loss, about 90 percent daily
|
kidneys
|
|
in the kidneys, what kind of relationship is there between sodium and potassium reabsorption
|
inverse
|
|
what is the msot common cause of hyperkalemia
|
renal failure
|
|
leg pain and muscle weakness =
|
hyperkalemia
|
|
for hyperkalemia
|
elimate oral potassium, increase potassium elimation w dioretics, dialysis, force iv insulin
|
|
the most common hospital imbalance is
|
hypokalemia
|
|
cardiac changes =
|
hypokalemia
|
|
elderly are more at risk for f/e imbalance because
|
small losses of fluid are more significant because body fluids account for only about 50 percent of body weight in older adults
|
|
blood plasma has a higher osmolality than fluids within a red blood cell, the mechanism involved in equalizing the fluid concentration is
|
osmosis
|
|
a loop diuretic given to a pt, the patient will have symptoms of
|
weak, irregular pulse, poor muscle tone
|
|
the lungs act as anacid base buffer by
|
increasing RR and depth when CO2 levels in blood are high, reducing acid load
|
|
the typical fluid relplacement for a patient w ICF fluid volume deficit (hypovolemia) is
|
hypotonic solution
|
|
under normal conditions, kidneys reabsorb and conserve all of the _______ that they can filter
|
bicarbonate
|
|
whenever there is HYPOVENTILATION, what occurs
|
RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS (carbonic acid excess)
|
|
what do kidneys do during respiratory acidosis
|
conserve bicarobate and secrease hydrogen ions into urine
|
|
whenever there is HYPERVENTILATION, what occurs
|
respiratory alkalosis
(carboni acid eficit) |
|
the primary cause of respiratory alkalosis is _______ from acute pulmonary disorders
|
HYPOXEMIA
|
|
anxiety and CNS , brain , disorders are most prominent with
|
respiratory alkalosis
|
|
what occurs when an acid other than carbonic acid accumulates in body or when bicarboanate is LOST from body fluids
|
metabolic acidosis
|
|
how do you compensate for metaboplic acidosis?
|
increase CO2 excretion by the lungs
|
|
what do patients with metablic alkalosis usually develop (deep rapid breathing)
|
kaussMAul respirations
|
|
renal failure is a sure sign of
|
metabolic ACIDOSIS
|

|
|
what is the ideal fluiod replacement for a patient with an ECF volume deficit (hypovolemia)
|
ISOTONIC solution
