concepts cp 29/38

Acidosis too much acid in the blood (ph below 7.35)
alkalosis too much base (alkaline) in the blood (ph above 7.45), projective vomiting
Antidiuretic hormone( ADH) tell kidneys to save water
aldosterone saves sodium and water, gets rid of potassium
Electrolyte minerals like sodium and potassium that help muscles, heart and brain work
osmosis water moves were theirs more stuff(solute)
diffusion solute move from high to low concentration
buffer keep PH steady, not too acidic or alkaline
water essential- WATER 50-70% of body weight is water
water essential- INFANTS 65-80%
water essential- ADULT MALES 60-65%
water essential- OLDER ADULTS 50-55%
where is water? ICF(Intracellular fluid): inside cells (2/3 of body water) ECF(Extracellular fluid) outside cells (1/3 body water) Interstitial: between cells Intravascular: blood/plasma
* Where sodium goes, water follows
Thiozide diuretic Potassium
Lasix muscle spasm
*STUDY DROP FACTOR FOR DOSAGE QUESTIONS
* IF YOU ARE WORKING AS A NURSE THE PT WITH CHF AND STRIDOR ARE YOUR FIRST PRIORTY
A pt with vomit and diarrhea give 0.9% Na chloride
water role regulate temp. transport nutrients and waste protects brain/ spinal cord (via CSF) Lubricates joints and GI tract
thirst primary intake regulator (controlled by hypothalamus)
ADH save water (less pee) only work on kidney to decrease urine production
Aldosterone saves salt and water, get rid of potassium decrease urine production and increase body fluid level
ANF gets rid of salt and water(lower bp) causes kidney to excrete more urine
dehydration alterations in body Temps sweating/ hard breathing cause fluid loss
Hypovolemia High specific gravity High Bun High hematicrit
nursing actions: dehydration/ hypovolemia Monitor I&O Give fluids (oral or IV) Monitor BP/HR Mouth care watch for <30 mL/hr urine (may mean kidney failure)
fluid volume deficit: Dehydration/ Hypovolemia cause: diarrhea, vomiting, bleeding, diuretics s/s: dry skin/mouth, low BP, fast HR, sunken eyes, dizziness, poor skin turgor
Fluid volume excess: HYPERVOLEMIA cause: too much salt or IV fluids, kidney/heart/liver failure S/S: Swelling (edema) , shortness of breath, crackles, high BP, Weight gain
nursing action: HYPERVOLEMIA I&O Give diuretic Daily weight Low sodium diet watch lung sounds and O2 levels Monitor edema
Hypervolemia patient teaching
NA+ (sodium) range: 135-145 control water balance, nerves/ muscle
K+ (potassium) 3.5-5.3 heart rhythm muscle function monitor muscle weakness make sure pt on cardiac monitor DONT PUSH IV
CL-(Chloride) 97-107 balance sodium help acid/ base may cause seizure / coma tetany
Ca2+ (calcium) 8.2-10.2 bones muscles and heart contractions NAUSEA CONSTIPATION
Mg2+ (magnesium) 1.6-2.2 never/muscle function BP control RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION WEAKNESS
Pos (phosphorus) 2.5-4.5 energy bone muscle/nerve work
TOTAL CALCIUM 17.5 is not normal
potassium is critical too high or too low= risk for deadly heart rythm
HYPOCALCIUMIA cevostek trousseau sigh
PH range 7.35 acidosis 7.45 alkalosis
normal blood PH 7.35-7.45
Respiratory acidosis slow breathing
Respiratory alkalosis fast breating
metabolic acidosis acid buildup or base loss
metabolic alkalosis base buildup or acid loss
Fluid overload renal failure
fluid & electrolyte maintenance for NPO patients or those unable to ingest fluids orally(nausea, dysphagia) Prevents dehydration, maintain cellular function, and prevent death
Fluid & electrolytes replacement replaces losses from vomiting, diarrhea, GI, suctioning,fever, trauma, hemorrage prevent hypovolemia and shock must be tailored to lab value (NA+,K+,CL-,HCO3-)
Medication administration direct, rapid route with high bioavailability can be continuous, intermittent, or IV push
what fluid given to person dehydrated normal saline
Isotonic 0.9% NS OR NS,LR,D5W hydration, volume replacement, blood product
hypotonic fluid in cell, 1/2 NS, 1/3NS same as 0.45% hypertonic dehydration, gastric suctioning, H20 replacement avoid hypotension, burns, head trauma (risk of cerebral edema)
Hypertonic fluid out of cells, D5NS, D10W, 3% NaCL hyponatremia, fluid resuscitation, LOST OF BLOOD Admin slowly: monitor for fluid overload & cell dehydration
* If pt having blood transfusion reaction you do not hang anoter blood product
Hypothyroid hypocalcium
low calcium caused by hypothyroidism
component of Iv fluids water- base solvent electrolytes- maintain homeostasis glucose- energy source vitamin/amino acid - metabolic function
thromboitis inflammation of vein & thrombus flabitise
Signs and symptoms dyphnea cynosis tachycardia
winged butterfly aka scapped vein needle short term, blood draw, infants, short infuse time
blood transfusion 16-18G
when giving blood tranfusion collect before,during, after verfy identity & blood capatibility prime tube with NS(0.9) always remain with pt 15 min
Basal metabolic panel Na+, k, hco3, Bun, cr, BS
infiltration swollen, cool to touch redness, pain,warmth,streak action: discontinue IV apply warm compress
Sepsis if patient having fever, hypotension & chill
* air embolism if iv not primed
* with any complications STOP transfusion
change tubing anytime contaminated facility policy
