🗑
show Kidneys, skin, lungs, GI tract  
🗑
show Movement of fluid from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration with eventual equalization  
🗑
show Movement of solutes from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration.

🗑
Hypervolemia Causes   show
🗑
show Edema, distended neck veins, abnormal lung sounds, increased weight, increased urine output, tachycardia, increased B/P  
🗑
show BUN and hematocrit levels decreased due to plasma dilution (too much water)  
🗑

🗑
show 135-145 mEq/L  
🗑

🗑
show Significant fluid lost from intravascular space occurs in hemorrhage, burns, GI loses  
🗑
show Symptoms: increased pulse, increased B/P, Urine output <30 ml/hr, thirst, neuro changes  
🗑
show Actions: Fluid replacement with colloids (blood products) Isotonic (normal saline) Supine position-elevate legs, Monitor vital signs, I/O's  
🗑
