Isotonic solution
Give this one a try later!
-A solution in which the concentration of solutes is
essentially equal to that of the cell which resides in the
solution
-Does not cause fluid shifts or alter body cell size
-0.9% normal saline solution
Dyspnea
Give this one a try later!
-Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
,Interstital fluid (SF)
Give this one a try later!
-Fluid surrounding cells and spaces between... NOT within the blood
vessels
Extracellular fluid (ECF)
Give this one a try later!
-Fluid outside the cells and comprises approx. 1/3 (20%) total body water -
intravascular fluid (blood/plasma) -transcellular fluids (saliva, sweat, spinal
fluid)
Decreased capillary oncotic pressure
Give this one a try later!
-decreased production of plasma proteins (liver cirrhosis, malnutrition)
-loss of plasma proteins (kidney disease, open wounds)
Hypoxemia
Give this one a try later!
, -low levels of oxygen in the blood
Tonicity (osmolality)
Give this one a try later!
-The change in the concentration of solutes in relation to the amount of
water present
Ephysema
Give this one a try later!
-Destruction of alveolar wall causing air trapping from over dissension of
alveoli
Guillain-Barre
Give this one a try later!
-Rare condition
-Affects peripheral nervous system
-Acquired, acute inflammatory autoimmune disease causing demyelination
of peripheral nerves or axonal disorder
-Acute onset, ascending moto:r paralysis
-Causes: After infection, genetics, autoimmune reactions
, Fluid balance
Give this one a try later!
-The balance of input and output of fluids in the body, to allow metabolic
processes to function properly
Hypomagnesemia
Give this one a try later!
-Magnesium levels below 1.5
-Causes: alcoholism, GI suction diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome
-S/S: neuromuscular irritability, tremors, tetany, hyperactive deep tendon
reflexes, seizures, confusion, dysrhythmias (especially if low K+).
Decorticate
Give this one a try later!
Flexor posturing. Pt's limbs will be facing toward their core,
involving flexion of the arms and legs.
