Guru01 - Stuvia
Expert
Calcium value normal range Ans: 9-11 mg/dL
Magnesium normal values Ans: 1.5-2.5 mEq/L
Phosphate value normal range Ans: 2.5-4.5 mg/dL
Hypernatremia causes Ans: sodium greater than 145, intake
excessive, IV fluids (hypertonic Nacl, IV sodium bicarbonate),
hypertonic tube feedings without water supplements, near-
drowning in salt water, inadequate water intake (cog impaired),
excessive water loss
Hyponatremia Less than 135 mEq/L Ans: low sodium in the
blood
Too much water

Magnesium:1.5-2.5
, 2
Phosphate:2.5-3.5
Potassium: 3.5-5.5
Calcium: 9-11
Sodium: 135-145

Which is the tap water Antidiuretic Hormone or Aldodterone?
Ans: ADH
Antidiuretic Hormone Ans: promotes reabsorption of water in
the kidneys
Alddosterone Ans: Promotes reabsorption of sodium and water
in the kidneys
Pitting Edema Ans: Fluid third spaced into interstitial space.
Furosemide Ans: Potassium wasting diuretics, used when
potassium level are too high.
