|---|---|
| Role of Sodium (Na+) | (extracellular) osmolarity, affects water distribution between ECF and ICF. Regulates body fluids. |
| Na sources | bacon, beef cubes, catsup, corned beef, ham, tomatoe juice, soda crackers, pickles |
| Hyponatremia lab values | Na < 135 mEq/L |
| Symptoms of Hyponatremia | muscle weakness, headaches, lethargy, confusion, siezures,abdominal cramps, tachycardia |
| Hyponatremia etiology | vomiting, diarrhea, surgery, diuretics( water loss), kidney disease, excessive perspiration |

| Hypernatremia lab values | Na >145 mEq/L |
| Symptoms of Hypernatremia | Flushed dry skin, agitation, elevated body temperature, increased BP, nausea, vomiting, hypertension, muscle twitching |
| Hypernatremia etiology | excess Na intake leads to elevated serum sodium which leads to dehydration and increase in myocardial depolarization |
| Hypernatremia management | strict I/O, encourage fluids, Na restriction, monitor labs |
| Normal lab values of Sodium (Na+) | 135 - 145 mEq/L |
| Role of Calcium (Ca2+) | Promote normal nerve and muscle activity. Promotes normal neve and muscl activity. Increases contraction of heart muscle. Maintain cell permeability, protes blood clotting,aides formation of bone and teeth |

| Sources of potassium | fruits, fruit juice, veggies, bananas and dried fruits |
| Hypokalemia etiology | When cells are damaged K+ leaks from the cell into the intravascular fluid and is excreted by the kidneys. With cellular lossof K+, K+ shifts from blood plasma into the cellto restore the cellular K+ balance. Vomit and diarrhea 80-90% excreted in Urine |

| List four ways body fluids move | filtration, diffusion, osmosis & active transport |
| Filtration | movement of fluid through a membrane as a result of hydrostatic pressure |
| Diffusion | process by which solid, particulate matter moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration |
| Osmosis | water moves through semipermeable membrane from a solution of lower concentration to a high concentration |
| active transport | metabolic energy (Na/K pump) is expended to move cells from less consentrated solution to more concentrated one |
| thirst center of brain | regulated by hypothalamus. stimulated by increased serum osmolarity and decreased blood volume to kidneys |
| four routes of fluid output | urine, feces, insensible loss (lungs, perspiration) |
| sensible loss | perceived by individual |
| insensible loss | thorugh skin and lungs. not noticeable to individual |
| ADH Antidiuretic hormone | released from hypothalamus stimulation, increases the reabsorption of water into blood decreasing serum osmolality. |
| Aldosterone | mineralcorticoid produced by adrenal cortex, causes kidneys to reabsorb Na and excrete K (increased Na = Increased water retention) |
| Fluid Volume Deficit FVD | loss of water and electrolytes fom ECF AKA: hypovolemia |
| FVD causes | abormal loss through skin, GI or kidney, decreased fluid intake, movement of fluid to third space |
