| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| IV THERAPY IS THE ADIMISTRATION OF WHAT? | MEDICATIONS, BLOODS, & FLUIDS THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN ORALLY |
| WHAT IS ANOTHER REASON FOR IV THERAPY? | TO INTRODUCE THOSE ELEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN INTO THE BODY QUICKLY IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN HOMEOSTASIS |
| HEALTH & SOMETIMES EVEN SURVIVAL ITSELF DEPENDS ON MAINTAINING THE PROPER BALANCE OF WHAT _______ & ________ THINGS WITHIN THE BODY? | WATER & ELECTROLYTES |
| APPROXIMATELY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF A 120 LB. ADULT'S BODY WEIGHT IS WATER? | 50-60% |
| WHAT IS PERCENTAGE OF AN INFANT'S TOTAL BODY WEIGHT IS WATER? | 80% |
| WHAT PERCENTAGE OF ELDERLY'S TOTAL BODY WEIGHT IS WATER? | 55% |
| FAT CONTAINS _____ WATER? | ALMOST NONE |
| THE MORE FAT AN INDIVIDUAL HAS, THE ____ WATER THE BODY CONTAINS PER UNIT OF WEIGHT? | LESS |
| FEMALES GENERALLY CONTAIN _____ MORE FAT PER UNIT OF WEIGHT THAN MALES? | 10% |
| FEMALES CONTAIN _____ WATER THAN MALES AS FAT REPLACES WATER IN FEMALES? | LESS |
| IS ICF THE LARGEST OR LEAST AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE BODY? | LARGEST |
| ICF EQUALS ABOUT _____ OF TOTAL BODY WEIGHT? | 40% |
| ECF IS APPROXIMATELY ______ OF TOTAL BODY WEIGHT? | 20% |
| WHERE ARE THE 3 COMPARTMENTS WHERE ICF IS FOUND? | INTERSTITIAL FLUIDINTRAVASCULAR FLUIDTRANSCELLULAR FLUID |
| WHAT IS INTRAVASCULAR FUID? | PLASMA OF THE BLOOD |
| WHAT ARE IONS? | THE SEPERATE PARTICLES OF ELECTROLYTES |
| ELECTROLYTES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT? | 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? | POSITIVE IONSSODIUM (Na), CALCIUM (Ca), POTASSIUM (K) |
| WHAT IS AN ANION? | NEGATIVE IONCHLORIDE (CO2), BICARBONATE, PHOSPHATE |
| DEFINE ACID-BASE SOLUTIONS | MAINTAINING THIS BALANCE REFERS TO CONTROLLING THE CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN IONS |
| WATER IS COMPOSED OF WHAT? | HYDROGEN & OXYGEN |
| WHAT WAS THE pH SCALE DESIGNED FOR? | TO INDICATE WHAT THE HYDROGEN CONCENTRATION OF DIFFERENT SUBSTANCES IS IN RELATION TO OUR BODY |
| THE pH SCALE IS EXPRESSED NUMERICALLY HOW? | 1-14 |
| ACIDS ARE _____ | 1-7 |
| ALKALINES OR BASICS ARE _____ | 8-14 |
| NEUTRALS ARE _______ | 7 |
| WHAT ARE THE 3 MAIN REGULATORS OF THE pH SCALE? | BUFFERSKIDNEYSBREATHING |
| WHAT IS A BUFFERS ROLE IN MAINTAINING THE pH SCALE? | THEY ACT UPON STRONG ACID IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM MORE TOLERABLE TO THE BODY |
| WHAT IS CARBONIC ACID? | THE MOST ABUNDANT ACID IN OUR BODYTHE RESULT OF CATABOLISM OF FOODBUFFERED BY SALT WHICH CHANGES IT CHEMICALLY |
| WHY IS ASPIRIN TOLERATED BY THE STOMACH? | IT IS BUFFERED WHEN ITS MANUFACTURED TO PREVENT ULCERS |
| WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE EXHALE WHEN BREATHING? | WE EXPEL CO2 AND WATER VAPORS |
| WHAT IS THE ROLE OF OUR KIDNEYS? | THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ACIDIFY URINE SO THAT IT LEAVES THE KIDNEYS AT A pH LEVEL AS LOW AS 4.8 |
| WHY IS UNDERSTANDING FLUID REGULATION SO IMPORTANT? | IT IS ONE PURPOSE OF PRESCRIBING IV THERAPY |
| WHAT ARE THE ORGANS INVOLOVED IN FLUID REGULATION? | HYPOTHALAMUSLUNGSGI TRACTSKIN |
| WHAT IS THE HYPOTHALAMUS? | OUR THIRST CENTER |
| WHAT HAPPENS IN THE HYPOTHALAMUS WHEN OUR FLUID OUTPUT BECOMES GREATER THEN OUR FLUID INPUT? | WE GET THIRSTY |
| WHAT 2 AGE GROUPS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEHYDRATION? | CHILDREN & ELDERLY |
| WHAT IS THE ROLE OF OUR LUNGS? | WHEN WE EXHALE WE EXPEL CO2 AND WATER VAPORS |
| WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR SKIN WHEN WE SWEAT IN AN EFFORT TO COOL US OFF? | WE SWEAT |
| WHAT ARE THE 3 WAYS FLUID IS BROUGHT INTO OUR BODY? | LIQUID FORMFOODCATABOLISM OF FOOD |
| WHAT HAPPENS IN THE GI TRACT? | AS THE FOOD WE EAT IS BROKEN DOWN, CATABOLISM PRODUCES WATER & THAT WATER AS WELL AS OTHER SUBSTANCES NEEDED IS ABSORBED BY THE GI TRACT |
| HOW MUCH OF THE FLUID PRODUCED BY THE GI TRACT ACCOUNTS FOR OUR DAILY INTAKE? | OVER 1/2 |
| IS DEHYDRATION COMMON OR UNCOMMON? | COMMON |
| WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF DEHYDRATION? | EXCESSIVE USE OF DIURETICSEXCESSIVE DIARRHEAVOMTINGDIAPHORESISBURNSIMPAIRED THIRST CENTERSTRESS |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF IV ACCESS ARE THERE? | 2 |
| WHAT ARE THE 2 TYPES OF IV ACCESS? | PERIPHERALCENTRAL |
| WHAT IS A PERIPHERAL LINE? | A SMALL CATHETER INSERTED THROUGH SKIN INTO VEIN WITH A NEEDLE |
| WHERE IS A PERIPHERAL LINE MOST COMMON? | HOSPITAL & PARAMEDICS |
| HOW MANY TYPES OF CENTRAL LINES ARE THERE? | 2 |
| WHAT IS 1 TYPE OF CENTRAL LINE? | DIRECTLY INSERTED INTO THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA & RIGHT ATRUM |
| WHAT IS ANOTHER TYPE OF CENTRAL LINE? | ROUTED THROUGH THE PERIPHERAL VEINS INTO THE SUPERIOR VENA CAVA & RIGHT ATRIUM |
