Question
Answer
Hyperkalemia normal value   3.4-5 mEq/L  
🗑
Hyperkalemia manifestations   Hx of renal failure & oliguria hypotension, bradycardia, nuscle weakness, nausea anuria  
🗑
hyperkalemia interventiuons   initiate saline lock; notifyMD of K level and anuria infuse insulin & glucose to increase K uptake into cells ; IV Ca gluconate infusion dec. antogonistic effect of K excess on myocardium. Put pt on monitor due to possible severe dysrhytmias/arrest  
🗑
hyperkalemai misc.   K levels over 7. mEq. arelikely to cause cardiac distrubances/ arrest  
🗑
hypokalemia systems to assess   CV nueromuscular , GI, mental status (irritability /confusion)  
🗑
hypokalemia manifestations   use of lasix w/out supplemental K; fatique; muscle weakness; depression; nocturia/polyuria, N/V, diarrha ab. distension  
🗑
hypokalemia intervention   intiate saline lock; oral (less severe) IV (more severe) K Cardiac Montor (if pulse is weak/thready)  
🗑
hypokalamia misc.   never push IV K (adminster 10 mEq/hr. diluted in IV fluid)  
🗑
hypokalemia risk pop.   crash dieting, metabolic/ respiratory, alkalosis, diuretic therapy, loss of GI fluids, steroid use, estrogen use, severe burns, decrease K intake, liver disease with ascites, malabsoption, severe catabolism  
🗑
hyperkalemia risk factors   renal failure, excessive K+ intake, cell damage, crushing injuries, K+ sparing diuretics, metablic acidosis, transfusion of old blood, internal hemorrhage  
🗑
hypernatremia level   > 145 mEq/L  
🗑
hypernatremia systems to assess   CV neuromuscualr Renal , CNS, respiratory, skin  
🗑
hypernatremia manifestations   diarrhea, confusion/agitation/nonresponsive; dry mucous membranes; poor skin turgor; increase respirations; tachycardia; hypotension  
🗑
hypernatremia interventions   initate saline lock when caused by fluid loss ; repalce with 1/4 to 1/2 saline.. Whencuased by fluid $ Na loss, replae with isotonic NS-- diuretics can be used to treat when caused by inadquet renal excretion of Na.  
🗑
hypernatremia interventions   assess hourly for S&S of excess flluid loss, hyponatremia or hypokalemia; Monitor mental status; provide good oral hygiene; dialy weights , I&O  
🗑
Hyponatremia   <135mEq/L  
🗑
hyponatremia systems to assess   CV Neuromuscular, GI, Mental Status  
🗑
hyponatremia manifestation   HA, drowsiness, N/V, severe diaphoresis; fatique, muscle cramps in legs; confusion; convulsions; hyporeflexia  
🗑
hyponatremia interventions   IV replacement of Na (NS 1-2L -in more severe cases, give 3% or 5% Saline) monitor for S&S of fluid overload (crackles,edema, neck vein, distension,ascities, increase.BP) I&O daily wt.; other meds (esp. diuretics, MS, chemo)  
🗑
hyponatremia misc.   commonly caused by strenuous activity in high heat  
🗑
hypocalemia levels   <8.7 mg/dL  
🗑
hypocalemia systems to assess   CV, mental status  
🗑
hypocalcemia manifestations   +chvostek's sign(tap side of face) + trousseau's sign ( apply BP cuff for 2-4min) dec.in pulse, numbness/tingling in extremeties; anxiety; irritalbity  
🗑
hypcalcemia interventions   administer prescribed Ca sol. Watch for throbophlepitis/extravasation/clotting/ thrombus formation/CV distrubances/ recurrence of hypocalcemi/overcorrectio of Ca promotorl intake of Ca ( and vit. D when pts. conditiona has improved.  
🗑
hypocalcemia misc.   do NOT give Ca with saline  
🗑
