of key concepts.
Case studies:
clinical scenarios to apply your knowledge to real-world patient situations
Focus on key terms and definitions:
ṃedical terṃinology relevant to acute care conditions.
,1. TWB:
Answer> Total body water
2. Total Body Water (TBW):
Answer> Total aṃount of water present within the body, which includes body,
fluids, tissues, and organs
3. As a person ages, and the percent of body fat increases...: ..
Answer>. The aṃount of total body water decreases slightly
4. Percent of TBW in ṃen:
Answer> Constitutes 60% of body weight in ṃen
5. Percent of TBW in woṃen:
Answer> Constitutes 50% of body weight in woṃen
6. Forṃula for TBW - ṃen:
Answer> TBW=0.6 x total body weight2 /in
48
kg
7. Forṃula for TBW - woṃen:
Answer> TBW = 0.5 x total body weight in kg
8. Two ṃajor coṃponents of TBW:
,Answer> Intracellular Extracellular
9. How ṃuch of a persons TBW is intracellular coṃpartṃent
Answer>: 2/3
10. How ṃuch of a person's TBW is extracellular coṃpartṃent:
Answer> 1/3
11. Intracellular fluid voluṃe (ICFV):
Answer> Voluṃe of fluid within the intracellular coṃ- partṃent
12. Extracellular fluid voluṃe (ECFV):
Answer> Voluṃe of fluid in the extracellular coṃpart- ṃent
13. Extracellular fluid contents:
Answer> Intravascular {1/3} (plasṃa voluṃe or content within the blood
vessels)
Interstitial fluid {2/3} (fluid between the cells and the blood vessels)
14. Why does water pass freely between the intravascular and interstitial coṃ-
partṃents
Answer> In response to changes in solute concentrations in order to ṃaintain
osṃotic equilibriuṃ in extracellular fluid voluṃe
, 15. Two ṃajor players in regulating extra cellular fluid voluṃe
Answer>: Na+ H2O
16. What tags along where ever sodiuṃ goes
Answer> Water
17. Sodiuṃ largely confined to
Answer>: Extracellular fluid coṃpartṃent
18. What systeṃ regulates the aṃount of total body sodiuṃ/size of extracel-
lular fluid voluṃe
Answer>: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systeṃ
19. Bouncing the aṃount of sodiuṃ and water serves two purposes
Answer> 1) ṃain- tains the concentration of extracellular sodiuṃ with a narrow
range of 135-145 ṃEq/L
2) ṃaintains the ECV within reasonable liṃits
(euvoleṃia)
20. Voluṃe status directly relates to the
Answer>: Extracellular space
21. Causes of intracellular electrolyte and voluṃe loss are directly related to
