|---|---|
| WHAT IS ONE USE OF IV THERAPY? | THE ADMINISTRATION OF MEDS, BLOOD, FLUIDS THAT CAN'T BE TAKEN ORALLY |
| WHAT IS ANOTHER USE FOR IV THERAPY? | FOR INTRODUCING THOSE ELEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO BE TAKEN INTO THE BODY QUICKLY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS |
| WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THE PROPER BALANCE OF WATER AND ELECTROLYTES IN THE BODY? | HEALTH & SURVIVAL |
| APPROXIMATELY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF AN ADULT'S TOTAL BODY WEIGHT IS WATER? | 50-60% |
| WHAT IS A NEWBORN'S PERCENTAGE OF WATER IN THEIR TOTAL BODY WEIGHT? | 80% |
| WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OF WATER IN ELDERLY'S TOTAL BODY WEIGHT? | 55% |
| WHAT 2 AGE GROUPS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEHYDRATION? | INFANTS & ELDERLY |
| THE MORE A PERSON WEIGHS, THE MORE ________ DOES THE BODY CONTAIN? | WATER |
| FAT CONTAINS HOW MUCH WATER? | ALMOST NONE |
| THE MORE FAT ONE HAS, THE ______ WATER THE BODY CONTAINS PER UNIT OF WEIGHT? | LESS |
| FEMALES GENERALLY CONTAIN _______ MORE FAT PER UNIT OF WEIGHT? | 10% |
| FEMALES CONTAIN _______ WATER THAN MALES AS FAT REPLACES WATER IN FEMALES? | LESS |
| INTRACELLULAR FLUID IS THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF FLUID IN OUR BODY. WHAT IS THAT PERCENTAGE? | 40% |
| EXTRACELLULAR FLUID IS APPROXIMATELY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR BODY WEIGHT? | 20% |
| WHAT IS ONE OF THE 3 COMPARTMENTS WHERE EXTRACELLULAR FLUID IS FOUND AND WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF THAT COMPARTMENT? | INTRAVASCULAR FLUID-PLASMA OF THE BLOOD |
| WHAT ARE THE 2 FLUIDS INVOLVED IN MAINTAINED IN THE NORMAL FLUID BALANCE? | INTRACELLULAR & EXTRACELLULAR |
| WHAT ARE ELECTROLYTES? | COMPUNDS THAT BREAK UP INTO SEPERATE PARTICLES WHEN PLACED IN WATER |
| WHAT ARE THE ELECTROLYTE PARTICLES CALLED? | IONS |
| EXPLAIN WHAT SODIUM ENTERS THE BODY AS AND HOW IT IS BROKEN DOWN INTO IONS. | SODIUM ENTERS AS NaCl BUT AS IT IS TAKEN INTO THE BODY'S FLUIDS IT IS BROKEN DOWN INTO Na & Cl |
| WHAT TYPE OF CELLULAR ACTIVITIES ARE ELECTROLYTES RESPONSIBLE FOR? | NUTRIENT REGULATIONMUSCLE CONTRACTIONNERVE CONDUCTIONDISTRIBUTION & TRANSMISSION OF FLUID BETWEEN 3 FLUID COMPARTMENTS |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF IONS ARE IN THE BODY? | 2 |
| WHAT IS A CATION? | POSTIVE IONSINCLUDE: SODIUM (Na), CALCIUM (Ca), POTASSIUM (K) |
| WHAT IS AN ANIONS? | NEGATIVE IONSINCLUDE: CHLORIDE (Cl), BICARBONATE (HCO3), PHOSPHATE(P) |
| MAINTAINING THE BALANCE OF ACID-BASE SOLUTIONS OF THE BODY REFERS TO WHAT? | CONTROLLING THE CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN (H) IONS |
| WHAT IS WATER (H2O) COMPOSED OF? | HYDROGEN (H) & OXYGEN (O) |
| WHY IS MAINTAINING THE BALANCE OF FLUID IMPORTANT? | BECAUSE OUR BODY IS 60% WATER |
| THE pH SCALE WAS DESIGNED FOR WHAT? | TO INDICATE WHAT THE HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION OF DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES IS IN RELATION TO OUR BODY |
| WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS ON THE pH SCALE? | 1-14 |
| WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS OF ACIDS? | 1-7 |
| WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS FOR ALKALINES OR BASICS? | 8-14 |
| WHAT IS THE NUMBER FOR NEUTRALS? | 7 |
| HOW MANY REGULATORS OF pH ARE THERE? | 3 |
| WHAT ARE BUFFERS? | SUBSTANCES IN OUR BODY THAT ACT UPON STRONG ACIDS IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM WEAKER AND MORE TOLERABLE TO THE BODY |
| WHAT IS CARBONIC ACID? | MOST ABUNDANT ACID IN OUR BODYRESULT OF CATABOLISM OF FOOD |
| WHAT IS CARBONIC ACID BUFFERED BY? | THE SALT IN THE BODY |
| WHAT DOES THE SALT IN OUR BODIES TO DO CARBONIC ACID? | ALTERS IT CHEMICALLY TO MAKE IT MORE TOLERABLE |
| WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE BREATHE OR EXHALE? | WE EXPEL CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) & WATER (H2O) VAPOR |
| WHY ARE OUR KIDNEYS THE BEST WEAPON AGAINST VARIATIONS IN OUR BLOOD pH LEVEL? | THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACIDIFY URINE SO THAT IT LEAVES THE KIDNEYS AT A pH LEVEL AS LOW AS 4.8 |

| ARE FEW OR MANY ORGANS INVOLVED IN MAINTAINING THE FLUID REGULATION? | MANY |
| THE THIRST IS WHAT? | HYPOTHALAMUS |
| AS FLUID LOSS BECOMES GREATER THAN INTAKE, WHAT HAPPENS? | BECOME THIRSTY |
| ARE THE LUNGS 1 OF THE ORGANS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING OUR FLUID REGULATION? | YES |
| HOW IS OUR SKIN INVOLVED IN MAINTAINING OUR TEMPERATURE REGULATION? | AS WE GET HOT, OUR BODY SECRETES WATER (SWEAT)TO COOL US DOWN |
| WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON IMBALANCE IN OUR BODY FLUIDS? | DEHYDRATION |
| WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF DEHYDRATION? | EXCESSIVE USE OF DIURETICSEXCESSIVE DIARRHEAVOMITINGDIAPHORESISDIABETES INSIPIDUSBURNSIMPAIRED THIRST CENTERSTRESS |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF INTRAVENOUS ACCESS ARE THERE TO ADMINISTER IV THERAPY? | 2 |
| WHILE WE USE DIFFERENT ROUTES FOR ADMINISTRATION, WHAT STAYS BASICALLY THE SAME? | THE EQUIPMENT USED |
| WHAT IS A PERIPHERAL LINE? | TYPE OF IV ACCESSSMALL CATHETER ONLY A FEW CENTIMETERS LONG INSERTED THROUGH THE SKIN TO THE VEIN USING A NEEDLE |
| WHERE IS A PERIPHERAL LINE MOST COMMON? | HOSPITALS & PARAMEDICS |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF CENTRAL VENOUS LINES ARE THERE? | 2 |
| WHAT IS A LINE DIRECTLY INSERTED INTO THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA & RIGHT ATRIUM? | TYPE OF CENTRAL LINE |
| IS A LINE THAT IS ROUTED THROUGH THE PERIPHERAL VEINS INTO THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA AND RIGHT ATRIUM A TYPE OF CENTRAL LINE? | YES |
