Question
Answer
Fluid administration is necessary when an animal is   dehydrated, during surgery, blood loss, shock,has a dz resulting in a animals depletion of normal fluid,electrolyte, and acid-base balance  
🗑

🗑
IS osmosis acitve or passive process   passive process  
🗑
What is the difference between hydrostatic and osmotic pressure   hydrostatic pushes fluid out, osmotic pressure pulls fluid in  
🗑
What is osmotic pressure also called   oncotic pull  
🗑
what is osmotic pressure   colloids are large molecular weight particles present in a solution. proteins in the plasma contribute to the colloid osmotic pressure. more protein in the plasma holds the fluid in the vessels  
🗑
What is the most important organ for fluid balance   kidney  
🗑
what does the kidney do for fluid balance   conserve or excrete fluid  
🗑
if the kidneys are conserving fluid what will the urine be   concentrated  
🗑
if the kidneys are excreting fluid what will the urine be   dilute  
🗑
what are th purpose of the hormones for the body to maintain fluid balance   hormones signal the kidneys to conseve or excrete fluid  
🗑
Which of the following is used to monitor fluid therapy a) appetite b) bowel movements c)temperature d) urine output   d) urine output  
🗑

🗑
What is hypocalcemia   decrease in calcium in the blood  
🗑
what is hypercalcemia   increase in calcium in the blood  
🗑
When do animals become hypokalemic   V/D, or increase urine outputs  
🗑
WHat causes hyperkalemia   can be caused by decreased urine output or Addison's dz  
🗑
What can cause hyponatremia   renal failure, vomiting, diarrhea, congestive heart failure, addisons dz, or fluid overload  
🗑
Is hypernatremia common   no , but can be caused by inadvertant over-feeding of salt  
🗑
What is eclampsia   a syndrome including convulsions and coma occuring n animals soon after birth of the young  
🗑
Dz of which gland can cause elevated calcium   parathyroid  
🗑
How do electrolytes help regulate the acid-base balance in the body   by maintaining the hydrogen ion concentrations in bodily fluids, particularly in extracellular fluids  
🗑
An electrolyte that releases a hydrogen ion in water is called   acid  
🗑
When an elctrolyte binds a hydrogen ion in water is called a   base  
🗑
Arterial blood pH less that 7.35 is called what   Acidemia  
🗑
Arterial blood pH greater that 7.45 is called what   Alkalemia  
🗑
postive ions are called   cations  
🗑
negative ions are called   anions  
🗑
What are the primary ions in the body   sodium potassium, chloride, phosphate,and bicarbonate  
🗑
What electrolyte imbalance is most likely to be found in a cat with total urethral obstruction. A) Hyperkalemia B)Hypokalemia C) Hyponatremia D) Hypercalcemia   A) Hyperkalemia  
🗑
Maintenance of pH in this range is essential to survival and depends on 3 major mechanisms in the body what are they   Chemical buffers, respiratory system and renal system  
🗑
What is the response of chemical buffers   immediate process  
🗑
OF chemical buffers, respiratory systme , or renal system which one is the longest out of the three   renal system  
🗑
What is metabolic acidosis   producing too much acid or hanging on to them for to long  
🗑
what is metabolic alkalosis   increase loss of acids  
🗑
What is respiratory acidosis   increases the co2 in blood, hypoventalation→ build up of co2,impaired gas exchange in lungs  
🗑
What is respiratory alkalosis   decrease the co2 in blood, hyperventalation-decrease co2 in the lungs  
🗑
WHat are the 3 goals of fluid therapy   maintenance, replace deficits, and replace ongoing losses
