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

🗑
insensible loss   dehydration d/t excess expiration, moisture from the lungs exit body  
🗑
Examples of fluid shift causes   burns, edema from injury and pleural effusion.  
🗑

🗑
longitudinal furrow   located on tongue d/t dehydration.  
🗑
What happens to the metabolic process when there is hydration   increase or decrease body temp.  
🗑
measures how much space/volume in the blood is occupied by red blood cells. It is useful when evaluating a person for anemia   hematocrit  
🗑
A protein within the red blood cells that is pigmented and carries oxygen   hemoglobin  
🗑
hemoconcentration   dehdyration causes concentrated blood; A decrease in plasma volume resulting in an increase in the concentration of red blood cells in blood.  
🗑
plasma   A decrease in plasma volume resulting in an increase in the concentration of red blood cells in blood. 1.The colorless fluid part of blood, lymph, or milk, in which corpuscles or fat globules are suspended.  
🗑

🗑
Increase in serum osmoality   dehydration causes this lab assess result to read over 300mOsm/kg  
🗑
Increase in glucose, protein   dehydration  
🗑
What happens to sodium when there is loss of water?   increase sodium  
🗑
Oral rehydration   must contain electrolytes when trying to reverse dehydration.  
🗑
IV therapy for dehydration if Na is high   D5W - 5% dextrose and water.  
🗑
How is D5w given?   Slowly over 48 hours  
🗑
d5w does what?   It pulls water into the cell and causes swelling- may cause brain swelling if given too quickly  
🗑
what do you give if Na is normal with someone who is dehydrated?   NS- an isotonic soln  
🗑
isotonic sln   means that it is equal or like whats in our body, such as normal saline.  
🗑
Isotonic sln can be given at what rate?   More rapid than d5w  
🗑
When is isotonic given   when both fluids and solutes are deficit r/t diarrhea and vomitting.  
🗑
cytsalloids   IV therapy- solutions w/ small molecules that flow easily from blood stream into cells and tissue.  
🗑
what are crystalloids used for?   to replace volume.  
🗑
Isotonic solutions   soln with solute concentration equal to the osmolarity of normal body fluids.  
🗑
what is the most common isotonic solutuion   0.9% sodium chloride  
🗑
Lactated ringers   additional lytes and normal saline  
🗑
d5w   acts hypotonically  
🗑
hypotonic solutions   draws water into the cells from the extracellular cells  
🗑
water leaves intravascular and enters into intracellular cells and causing them to swell   hypotonic sln  
🗑
Hypertonic soln   draws water out of cells  
🗑
Intacellular cells shrink as water is drawn out them and enters into the extracellular space   hypertonic soln

🗑
with over hydration, what does body retain?   Water and sodium  
🗑
The retention of water and sodium can be from   kidney failure, CHF r/t ineffective pumping

Another cause overhydration is fluid shift from   interstitial to intravascular space  
🗑
What causes fluid shift from interstitial to intravascular space?   surgery (i.e. open heart) or burn  
🗑
Why would you have SOB, crackles and a cough with fluid overload?   because fluid is in the lungs.
