N170 IV Fluid Study Aid

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Diffusion   Movement of molecules from a solution of higher concentration to a solution of lower concentration  
🗑
Osmotic Pressure   Water movement across a semipermeable membrane which is caused by the solution of higher solute concentration exerts pressure to move water across the membrane to equalize the concentration of the solution  
🗑
Colloid Osmotic Pressure   The pull of H2O from interstitial spaces into the vascular compartment caused by plasma proteins  
🗑
Colloids   Large protein molecules that do not dissolve in true solutions  
🗑
Solutes   Substances that dissolve in liquids  
🗑
Solvent   The component of a solution that can dissolve a solute.  
🗑
Filtration   The process of movement of fluid and solutes across a membrane from one compartment to another.Movement if from area of higher pressure to lower pressure.  
🗑
Osmosis   Movement of water across cell membranes from area of less concentration to area of greater concentration=H2O movement to dilute the concentration  
🗑
0.9% NaCl   Normal SalineIV fluid compatibile with most IV medications  
🗑
Define Isotonic Solution   A solution in which the solutes and solvent are balanced.IV fluid therefore remains in the vascular compartent expanding vascular volume.  
🗑
Purpose of Isotonic Solutions   Used to expand volume and maintain normal tonicity  
🗑
Types of Isotonic Solutions   0.9% NaCl,Lactated Ringers, & D5W (D5W is isotonic on initial administration but when metabolized expands the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments.)  
🗑
Define Hypotonic Solution   Solvent exceeds solute - has lesser concentration of solutes than plasma Treats cellular dehydration via a fluid shift from the vascular compartment into the cells.  
🗑
Purpose of Hypotonic Solutions   Used to dilute excess serum electrolytes; Promotes elimination by the kidneys  
🗑
Types of Hypotonic solution   0.45% NaCl  
🗑
Define Hypertonic Solution   Solutes exceed solvent - higher concentration of solutes than plasma. Causes a fluid shift from the cells into the vascular compartment therby expanding the vascular volume  
🗑
Purpose of Hypertonic Solutions   Used to correct electrolyte imbalances  
🗑
Types of Hypertonic solutions   D5.9 NaCl,D5 LRD5.45 NaCl  
🗑
Syringe Pump   Use to infuse medications directly from a syringe. Can be programmed in mL/hr or units/hr  
🗑
PCA   Patient Controlled AnalgesiaAllows patient to self administer IV medication to control pain.  
🗑
Infusion Pump   IV device that maintains flow in mL/hr by displacing IV fluid at the prescribed rate via pressure.  
🗑
Gravity IV   IV rate is calculated in drops per minute to deliver prescribed mL/hr  
🗑
Nursing Implications with Isotonic IVF administration   Assess for signs and symptoms of hypervolemia: Bounding Pulse, Shortness of Breath, Distended Neck Veins  
🗑
Nursing Implications with Hypotonic IVF administration   Do not administer to clients at risk for thirsd space fluid shift of accumulation of EXF in a body space - can result in circulatory volume loss and potential for organ failure, or increased intracranial pressure.  
🗑
Nursing Interventions for clients receiving IVF   Monitor Electrolytes, Monitor I&O, Assess Cardiac and Pulmonary status, Monitor infusion site.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
