🗑
What is the most accurate way to assess fluid gain?   daily weights  
🗑
what is the fluid equivilent in pounds or kg gained?   2.2 lbs. or 1 kg equals 1 liter of fluid  
🗑
important points in taking daily weights   must be the same time of day, same type of clothing and same scales  
🗑
on average about how much do we intake and output not including insensible losses and gains?   1500ml in and 1500ml out  
🗑
urine production should be at least what?   30ml per hour somewhere (between 720 and 800ml in 24 hours)  
🗑
three types of IV solutions   isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic  
🗑
isotonic solutions description, osmolarity, and examples   equal concentration on both sides of the membrane; 270-290; Normal Saline, Lactated Ringers and D5W  
🗑
hypotonic solutions description, osmolarity and examples   water pulled into cell; less than 270; 1/2 NS, D2W  
🗑
hypertonic solution description, osmolarity and examples   water pulled out of cell; greater than 290; D5NS, D10W, D5LR, 1% NS, NSKCl  
🗑
osmolarity for normal body is   270-290 based on sodium levels in the body  
🗑
filtration is an example of what in the body?   blood pressure and the kidneys filtration  
🗑
example of active transport in the body   glucose needs insulin to transport it into the cell  
🗑

🗑
cations   electrolytes with positive charge  
🗑
anion   electrolytes with a negative charge  
🗑
regulation fo fluid and electrolyte balance is done by the   hypothalamus (thirst center)  
🗑
Pituitary secretes what in relation to fluid balance?   ADH- Anti-Diuretic Hormone- main function is to retain water-urine becomes more concentrated when it is secreted  
🗑
adrenal glands secrete what in relation to fluid balance?   aldosterone- maintains sodium balance- secreted in response to decrease in fluid vol., decreased serum sodium and high potassium levels  
🗑
renal or kidnet regulation   primary organ of fluid electrolyte balance  
🗑
other regulators of fluids and electrolytes   lungs, parathyroid, skin, heart, and GI tract  
🗑
physical assessment in relation to fluid balance   skin, turgor, mucous membranes, daily weights, vital signs  
🗑
serious fluid loss in adults and infants   10%  
🗑
fatal fluid loss in adults   20%  
🗑
fatal infant fluid loss   15%  
🗑
