Question
Answer
show 60%  
🗑
How does age affect % of body fluid?   show
🗑
show Men have a greater % of body water than women  
🗑
show Obese people have lower % of body fluid b/c adipose tissue holds less water  
🗑
show Water; a liquid that dissolves other substances  
🗑
show it is necessary to sustain life; affects cell shape and size; maintains body temp; transports gases & wastes throughout the body; almost every organ in the body plays a vital role in maintaining electrolyte balance.  
🗑
Intracellular space (ICF)=   show
🗑
show Intravascular (inside vessels); "plasma"= liquid part of blood, Interstitial (b/w cells)= fl surrounding cell; Transcellular is fl that does not exist in lg amounts & causes no major fluid shifts,(CSF, pericardial, pleural,digestive, & synovial fluids)  
🗑
show fluid lost from ECF (outside the cell); body can't absorb quickly, pee it out or lose it; appear "Puffy"  
🗑
show maintain fluid balance  
🗑
show Intracellular (ICF) and Extracellular (ECF); "Act as a Dam"  
🗑
show intravascular (inside the vessels) to extravascular (outside the vessels) and from intracellular (inside the cells) to extracellular (outside the cells)  
🗑
show solutes (electrolytes) and solution (fluid) concentrations  
🗑
show Minerals (sometimes called salts)present in all of our body fluids; electrically charged chemicals; + or -; unite in various cojmbinations (i.e. Na+Cl- or normal saline soln)  
🗑
Cations ...(has a "t" with a + in it)   show
🗑
show - charge; Cl-, HCO3-, SO4-, PO4-  
🗑
show ECF (outside the cells) b/c of easier access  
🗑
show ECF (outside the cell); regulator of of body fluid volume  
🗑
show ICF (inside the cell)  
🗑
In order to keep Na+ levels higher in ECF (outside the cell) and K+ levels higher in ICF (inside the cell) the body must use_____?   show
🗑
Osmosis= Movement of ________ across a semipermeable membrane from ___ ________ concentration to ____ _______ concentration. It is a _______ _________ and does not require ________.   show
🗑
Osmola "L" ity= # of particles of solute in a unit of fluid based on________; hint: "L" = Lb for the abreviation of pound.   show
🗑
Osmolarity= # of particles of solute in a unit of fluid based on ________   show
🗑
What is the ability of solutes to cause an osmotic driving force and promote water movement from one compartment to another to try to maintain balance in the body?   show
🗑
show USE(TO INCREASE BP)IN HYPOTENSIVE PATIENTS; "low # of electrolytes as compared to water; In other words= more water and less electrolytes;  
🗑
show USED TO INCREASE BLOOD VOLUME (TO INCREASE BP)"Same"= same # of electrolytes and water; won't see huge fluid shifts; DOES NOT ALTER CELL SHAPE OR SIZE;  
🗑
Hypertonic solutions= High; D5NS (5%Dextrose Normal Saline)or D5LR (Lactate Ringer)   show
🗑
show to increase blood volume/BP  
🗑
Why would you give a hypertonic solution?   show
🗑
When would you NOT give Normal Saline?   show
🗑
show requires energy  
🗑
Diffusion is a ..."fish downstream"   show
🗑
F & E Homeostasis uses almost every organ in our body in order to maintain fluid balance to regulate homeostasis...a problem with one...?   show
🗑
How does the heart affect fluid balance to regulate homeostasis?   show
🗑
show CO; affects how much blood or fluid reaches the kidneys.  
🗑
show insensible fluid loss; and are involved in acid-base balance; (acid= sour; base= bitter)  
🗑
show by the "Thirst Center" located in the hypothalmus  
🗑
What does the hypothalmus produce?   show
🗑
What does ADH do?   show
🗑
show it is the most significant factor in determining whether excreted urine is concentrated (dark) or dilute (straw color)  
🗑
How does the Adrenal Gland affect fluid & electrolyte balance to regulate homeostasis?   show
🗑
show ↑'s Na+ reabsorption and ↑'s/stimulates K+ excretion; Regulates the amount of electrolytes (Na+/K+ levels) in the body, thus, maintains BP & body fluids  
🗑
What affect does the Parathyroid Gland have on fluid & electrolyte balance to regulate homeostasis?   show
🗑
show Bone reabsorption (when old bone is broken down it sends Ca++ out into the blood stream); Ca++ absorption from the intestines; Ca++ reabsorption from the renal tubules in the kidneys  
🗑
show The pituitary releases ADH which stimulates water reabsorption and ↓'s U.O. (urinary output); remember...it keeps you from peeing.  
🗑
How does the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System stimulate thirst?   show
🗑
show Aldosterone in response to renin  
🗑
show volume  
🗑
show regulates BP and water balance; a low BP causes the kidneys to secrete renin, renin stimulates Angio I & Aldosterone which ultimately causes the kidneys to hold onto Na+ and water; ↑'s BP (if BP gets too high need to give ACE inhibitors...-sartans)  
🗑
show sense changes in Na+ concentration in our body  
🗑
show A cardiac hormone; opposite of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone; ANP ↓'s BP,↑'s U.O. ("ANP makes you Pee"); stimulates vasodilation which ↑'s water excretion/U.O.  
🗑
show ↑'d risk of F&E disorders b/c experience changes in F&E's quicker r/t decreased renal, pulmonary (lung), and adrenal function  
🗑
What do you need to assess in geriatric clients to evaluate F&E's?   show
🗑
show The end product of muscle metabolism. The most definitive way of measuring kidney function [better than BUN (blood urea nitrogen]; but will use BUN & CC to measure kidney function.  
🗑
show Oral, IV, SubQ, Enteral (via gut)  
🗑
show Kidneys and insensible losses  
🗑
show 1500 mL/day of urine (obligatory [need to lose]U.O. is 400-600mL/day)  
🗑
What are insensible losses of fluid?   show
🗑
What is the term for Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD)?   show
🗑
What is the definition of hypovolemia? or When does hypovolemia occur?   show
🗑
When talking about hypovolemia we talk about a loss of...?   show
🗑
show loss of fluid; but tends to have a high sodium concentration; (thus, the loss of water is not equal to the loss of electrolytes and cannot be called the same thing as hypovolemia.)  
🗑
Which is worse hypovolemia or dehydration?   show
🗑
What some causes of hypovolemia/isotonic imbalances from the GI system?   show
🗑
What some causes of hypovolemia/isotonic imbalances from the renal system?   show
🗑
What are some insensible causes of hypovolemia/isotonic imbalances?   show
🗑
As Hypovolemia worsens the signs/symptoms worsen and can lead to...?   show
🗑
show Fluid in the abdomen.  
🗑
show Administer fluids: Oral route is preferred; may give isotonic IV fluids 0.9% NS or LR (remember they do not cause huge fluid shifts); this will also increase BP  
🗑
show I&O; Daily wts (most sensitive indicator of fluid changes); VS; Notify the MD of lack of response or worsening of symptoms (SBAR)  
🗑
show Elderly, renal failure, diarrhea, C.diff (pooping q 5 seconds), vomiting.  
🗑
How would you educate a pt with FVD?   show
🗑
How do you best assess the adequacy of FVD replacement in a pt. with hypovolemia by monitoring...?   show
🗑
show Expansion of ECF (outside the cell); isotonic imbalance of fluids and electrolytes; circulatory overload  
🗑
show ...your body will try to compensate for fluid overload by fine tuning the circulatory or circulating levels of Aldosterone, ADH & ANP; by altering these levels it causes the kidneys to release additional water and sodium  
🗑
What are the primary Signs/Symptoms of hypervolemia (we are expected to know)?   show
🗑
How do you manage FVE (fluid volume excess)?   show
🗑
What should you monitor for FVE?   show
🗑
show Renal fx, Elderly, Heart & liver failure pts (conditions resulting in impaired circulating volume), any condition that presents with ↓'d serum proteins such as Liver fx, malnutrition, Burns, and Nephrotic syndrome (renal fx)  
🗑
show via GI tract  
🗑
Where are electrolytes excreted?   show
🗑
show Na+  
🗑
show controls water distribution; and affects muscle contraction/nerve impulse transmission  
🗑
show d/t severe neuro side effects; neurovascular SE's;  
🗑
A loss or gain in Na+=   show
🗑
show < 120 mEq/L;  
🗑
What is a CNS symptom of severe HYPONATREMIA of < 120 mEq/L?   show
🗑
show thirst center in the hypothalmus in the pituitary in the brain  
🗑
show excess water enters the cells; the cell swells/increases  
🗑
show HYPONATREMIA  
🗑
show How quickly Na+ falls or how long the levels are low, and the amount of extracellular fluid volume.

🗑
What are the neurological signs and symptoms of hyponatremia?   show
🗑
