minimum urine output for adult -CORRECTANSWER 0.5mL/kg/hr
ADH (antidiuretic hormone) -CORRECTANSWER - water retainer
- vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin)
- produced by hypothalamus
- store and released from posterior pituitary
ADH pathway -CORRECTANSWER - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and
increased serum osmolality
- signal pituitary to release ADH
- ADH causes kidney to retain water
- water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality
ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) -CORRECTANSWER - cardiac hormone stored in atria
- released when atrial pressure increases
,*works opposite of RAAS by decreasing BP and reducing intravascular volume
- important diagnostic marker in CHF
hydrostatic pressure -CORRECTANSWER - forces fluids and solutes through the
capillary wall and into the tissue spaces
colloid osmotic pressure -CORRECTANSWER - pulling force of albumin in the
intravascular spaces
- pull fluid into vasculature
maintenance fluid therapy -CORRECTANSWER - replaces normal ongoing losses of
water and electrolytes (urine, sweat, respiration, stool)
replacement therapy -CORRECTANSWER - corrects any existing water and or
electrolyte deficits
isotonic fluids -CORRECTANSWER - tonicity equal to plasma in the body
- no fluid shifts because the solutions are equally concentrated
- LR
, - NS
- D5W
hypotonic fluids -CORRECTANSWER - lower concentration of solutes in the
vasculature than in the cell
- fluid shifts into the cell to dilute the electrolytes (CELL SWELLS)
- 0.45NS
hypertonic fluid -CORRECTANSWER - higher concentration of solutes in the
vasculature than in the cell
- pulls fluid out of cells and into the vessels (CELL SHRINKS)
- D5 .45NS
- D5NS
- D5LR
- 3%, 7%, 23.4% NaCl
colloids -CORRECTANSWER - pull fluid into bloodstream
Albumin
- 5% is osmotically equal to plasma
- 25% draws 4 times the normal volume into the circulation
