Question
Answer
Identify 4 reasons for delivering IV medication/therapy   fluid maintance,fluid replacemnt, restoration and medication delivery  
🗑
What maintance therapy does (Crystalloid (isotonic))   addresses the bodies daily fluid requirements provides H20, electrolytes and dextrose (shouldn't have 2 in a row)glucose. improves hepatic function calories for energy spares body protein minimises ketosis  
🗑
Types of patients that may require maintance therapy   NPO (nill by mouth) surgical  
🗑
Replacement therapy used when   fluid, electrolyte and blood deficiency in acute situations  
🗑
Replacement therapy is   delivered over a 48 hour period usually isotonic  
🗑
Types of patients that may require replacement therapy   haemorrhage low platelet count prolonged V&D starvation bowel surgery wound infections  
🗑
Restoration therapy is   fluid and electrolyte replacement restore homeostasis concurrent losses on an ongoing basis  
🗑
Restoration delivery   fluid ordered depends on fluid lost and blood serum levels acurate FBC is critical  
🗑
Types of patients that may require restoration therapy   patients with fistulas abcesses nasogastric tubes burns abdominal wounds frequent changes of type of fluid ordered  
🗑
Medication administration may be given   neat,diluted, as a bolus, over a period of time, continuous, short time from over 4 hours and intermittently  
🗑
Client assessment issues   in balances in fluid and electrolyte levels may impact on body systems thorough client assessment is vital in detecting these imbalances  
🗑
Maintaining PH is particulary important for   cardiac and respiratory conditions  
🗑
Client assessment   inspection, palpation ascultation  
🗑
Central nervous system clinical manifestations   confusion, irritability, restless, headaches, nausea and muscle spasms.  
🗑
Cardiovascular system clinical manifestations   tachycardia,(increases to pump more blood around the body) large jugular vein, heart rhythm weak and thready, palor, clammy  
🗑
Respiratory clinical manifestations   dyspnoea (shotness of breath) tachypnea (rapid breathing)cough, APO (acute pulmonary oedema, pink frothy sputum. crackles in breathing  
🗑
Gastrointestinal System clinical manifestations   abdo pain, bloating, dry mucus membrane,increased abdomen and reduced peristalsis (wavelike movement in the stomach)  
🗑
Renal system clinical manifestations   reduced output, anuria (not passing urine)skin tisues and other system symptoms  
🗑
Musculoskeletal clinical manifestations   spasms if low, fatigue  
🗑
Integument system manifestations   colour, gross oedema, dry, fluid leakage and turgor (assessment of fluid loss by pinching the skin etc)  
🗑
Other issues related to IV therapy   environmental, lifestyle, medications may influence fluid balance (diuretics, steroids)acute or chronic illnessess (diabetes, renal , respiratory, gastro,increased temp (every raised degree of temp is a reduction of 150 mls of fluid) self image, psycolog  
🗑
Infants are at   greater risk of FVD  
🗑
Age 2-12 risks are   less tolerant to large changes regulatory mechanisms operate within an narrow range  
🗑
Adolescence risks   adolescence are used to larger changes in fluid balance  
🗑
Older adult risks   reduced renal blood flow and GFR and homeostasis is affected  
🗑
Monitoring input and output   weigh at the same time, clothes and scales. 1L of water = 1 kg FBC to be acurate  
🗑
Fluid volume excess (high)   excess consumption decrese urine output often associated with cardiac, liver and renal disorders  
🗑
Nursing fluid overload   sit up diuretics fluid restriction vital signs education  
🗑
Fluid volume deficit   dehydration symptoms, temp, decreased fluid intake, increased fluid output,reduced kidney function  
🗑
Fluid volume excess clinical manifestations   oedema, LVF, SOB  
🗑
Fluid volume deficit clinical manifestations   diabetes insipidus, gastro etc.  
🗑
Nursing fluid deficit   vital signs, push fluids, FBC, IV therapy  
🗑
