Fluid and electrolytes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| In an adult, fluid compromises of how much of total body weight? | 60% |
| The majority of body fluid is found in | intracellular. |
| Who contains the highest % of fluid? | Infant |
| Who contains the lowest % of fluid? | Elderly |
| Osmosis is the movement of what from area of low particle concentration to area of high particle concentration. | water |
| Which solutions exerts a higher osmotic pressure? Why? | D5NS -hypertonic solutions draw fluid into blood because of its higher concentration of particles. |
| The normal serum osmolality is | 280-295 mOsm/L |
| A dehydrated person’s osmolality will be | Increased |
| A dehydrated person’s osmolality will be increased. Why? | More solutes to fluids. |
| An overhydrated person’s osmolality will be | Decreased |
| An overhydrated person’s osmolality will be decreased. Why? | More fluids to less solutes |

| Glucose= | 70-110 mg/dl |
| Specific Gravity= | 1.010-1.025 |
| Serum Osmolarity= | 280-295 mOsm/kg or mOsm/L |
| BUN= | 7-21 mg/dl |
| Creatinine= | 0.6-1.3 mg/dl |
| Albumin= | 3.4-5 g/dl |
| Total Protein= | 6.4-8.2 g/dl |
| Liquid Found inside the Cells of the body | Intracellular |
| Liquid Found Outside the Cells of the body | Extracellular |
| Liquid Found between the Cells | Interstitial |
| Liquid Found inside the Blood Vessels | Intravascular |
| The small amount of Fluid found in special body spaces | Transcellular |
| Movement of Particles from high to low until equal | Diffusion |
| movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from low to high | Osmosis |
| Movement of a Substance using energy (ATP) | Active Transport |
| Fluid moves out of the blood vessels into the surrounding tissues due to hydrostatic pressure | Capillary Refill |
| Force exerted by a fluid pushing against the walls of a container or vessel (AKA The Pushing Force) | Hydrostatic Pressure |
| Pulling force created by proteins in the blood that draws water back into the blood vessels from surrounding tissues (AKA The Pulling Force) | Colloid Osmotic Pressure (oncotic Pressure) |
| water loss that leaves the body with out noticing | Insensible |
| water loss that leaves the body that you can see or smell | Sensible |
| Helps the body save water by making the kidney reabsorb more water instead of losing it in urine "Holding Onto Water" | Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH) |
| Where is ADH produced | The Hypothalamus |
| What is the Primary Function of the Liver | Filtration and Regulation of F&E Balance |
| Sodium Retention leads to | Water Retention |
| Liquids that hold a Substance in Solution | Solvents |
| A decrease in renal perfusion triggers the release of | Renin |
| Renin converts Angiotensinogen ( from the liver) into | Angiotensin I |
| This enzyme converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II | ACE |
| Blood Vessel Constriction is Caused from | Angiotensin II |
| Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to release | Aldosterone |
| Aldosterone acts on the renal tubules to cause | Increased Sodium reabsorption, Increased K+ excertion, Incresased B/P and Blood Volume |
| 1L=x Lb= x Kg | 2.2, 1 |
| body looses more fluid than it takes in, Leading to dehydration | Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD) |
| Body retains too much fluid leading to Edema, ANP kicks in | Fluid Volume Excess (FVE) |
| Elasticity of the skin, shows Dehydration | Skin Turgor |
| Fluid moves from the blood into the body paces where it is not easily available for use | Third Space |
| Swelling where Pressing on the skin leaves a temporary Dent | Pitting Edema |
| What is the main importance of Electrolytes in the body? | Helps Control fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle function |
| What is the Sodium- Potassium Pump? | Cell membrane protein that moves Na+ out the cell and K+ into using ATP |
| what is the role of Na+ in the body? | regulate fluid balance, transmit nerve impulses, assist muscle contraction, maintain B/P |
| what is the role of K+ in the body? | Regulate heart and muscle function, help transmit nerve signals, maintain proper F&E balance, support normal cell function |
| what is the role of Magnesium in the body? | Support muscle and nerve function, help maintain steady heart beat, assist in ATP production, and enzyme activity, contribute to bone health |
| What is the most accurate way to measure fluids? | Daily Weight |
| Intravascular Fluid comprises what % of body weight? | 5% |
| Interstitial Fluid comprises what % of body weight? | 10-15% |
| Transcellular is | 1L of body weight |
| what is the primary source of fluids? | ingested liquids |
| what is the normal daily intake of fluids? | 2600mL |
| Thrist mechanism is the primary defense mechanism of what? | Dehydration |

| When a person's B/P drops the kidneys respond by? | Secreting Renin |
