Question
Answer
To understand the use of parenteral solutions the nurse must understand two important concepts:   show
🗑
IV fluids are ordered for the following purposes   show
🗑
Isotonic   show
🗑
show below 250  
🗑
show above 375  
🗑
Key Elements of Parenteral Solutions   show
🗑
Isotonic (Iso-osmolar) Solutions   show
🗑
Isotonic (Iso-osmolar) Solution examples   show
🗑
Hypotonic Solutions   show
🗑
Hypotonic Solution examples   show
🗑
show Tonicity exceeding 350-375 mEq/L. Most admixed medications infused intravenously fall into this category; When infused, osmosis pulls water out of the cells. This causes the cells to shrink.  
🗑
Hypertonic Solution examples   show
🗑
IV Solutions   show
🗑
Crystalloids   show
🗑
show Albumin Dextran Hydroxyethyl starches Gelatins  
🗑
Crystalloids examples   show
🗑
show Used to provide calories for energy, reduce catabolism of protein, and reduce protein breakdown of glucose to help prevent a negative nitrogen balance.  
🗑
Dextrose Solutions percentages   show
🗑
show Acts as a vehicle for administration of medications Provides nutrition Can be used as treatment for hyperkalemia Used for treatment in dehydration Provides free water  
🗑
show Vein irritation! rapid infusion of 5% in dextrose in water causes Hyponatremic encephalopathy with (especially in premenopausal women) Solutions of 20 – 70% can act like osmotic diuretic if administered too rapidly Transient hyper-insulin reaction  
🗑
show 0.9% often referred to as “normal saline”; uses: treatment of shock, hyponatremia, given with blood transfusions, resuscitation, fluid challenges, metabolic alkalosis hypercalcemia, and fluid replacement in diabetic ketoacidosis.  
🗑
show 0.25, 0.45, 0.9, 3, and 5  
🗑
Sodium Chloride Solutions advantages   show
🗑
Sodium chloride solutions disadvantages   show
🗑
show Combination of dextrose and sodium chloride solutions; for excessive loss of fluid through sweating, vomiting, or gastric suctioning; potassium free  
🗑
Hydrating Solutions advantages   show
🗑
show Same as for sodium chloride solutions Requires cautious administration in edematous patients  
🗑
show used in patients with trauma, alimentary tract fluid losses, dehydration, sodium depletion, acidosis, diarrhea, excessive vomiting, fistula drainage, and burns; used for restoration of fluid balance pre- and post-surgery  
🗑
show Ringer’s solutions Lactated Ringer’s  
🗑
show Similar to .9%; Treatment of any type of dehydration; Use for patients with liver disease who are unable to metabolize lactate  
🗑
Ringer’s Solution advantages   show
🗑
Ringer's solution disadvantages   show
🗑
show AKA Hartmann’s solution; Most commonly prescribed balanced solution Electrolyte concentration closely resembling ECF compartment; used for Restoring fluid volume deficits Replacing fluid lost due to burns, vomiting, and diarrhea; Treating mild metabolic  
🗑
Lactated Ringer’s Solution advantages   show
🗑
Lactated Ringer’s Solution disadvantages   show
🗑
Alkalizing & Acidifying Infusion Fluids   show
🗑
Crystalloid Solutions key points   show
🗑
Colloid Solutions key points   show
🗑
Albumin   show
🗑
Albumin advantages   show
🗑
Albumin disadvantages   show
🗑
show polysaccharide that behaves as a colloid Used as plasma volume expanders; Used as adjunct in treatment of impending shock or shock states Expands volume by once or twice its own volume Improves microcirculation  
🗑
Dextran advantages   show
🗑
show Possibility of hypersensitivity reactions Increased risk of bleeding Circulatory overload For IV use only  
🗑
show Synthetic colloid made from starch and is similar to human albumin Use for the prevention and treatment of critically low blood volume  
🗑
show Hetastarch and Pentastarch do not interfere with blood typing and crossmatching Provides hemodynamically significant plasma volume expansion Permits retention of intravascular fluid  
🗑
Hydroxyethyl Starches disadvantages   show
🗑
Gelatins   show
🗑
3 types of gelatins   show
🗑
gelatins advantages   show
🗑
gelatins disadvantages   show
🗑
show Carefully assess history of allergic responses Monitor urinary output Monitor laboratory values Monitor CVP or jugular venous distension Maintain infusion rate Monitor for fluid overload Monitor for bleeding  
🗑
Potassium Chloride Solutions   show
🗑
