FPCC EXAM 2 STUDY GUIDE WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
never events - Answer-preventable errors, which may include falls, urinary tract infections
from improper use of catheters, and pressure ulcers
Standardized tools - Answer--outcomes
-limited range of answers
-have gone through validity and reliability
Hypovalemia - Answer-low blood volume. Blood loss can result from external injuries,
internal bleeding, or certain obstetric emergencies.
Dehydration - Answer-A serious reduction in the body's water content
orthostatic hypotension - Answer-Decrease in blood pressure related to positional or
postural changes from lying to sitting or standing positions
Normal sodium levels - Answer-135-145 mEq/L
normal potassium levels - Answer-3.5-5.0 mEq/L

Primary fluid compartments - Answer-intracellular and extracellular, intravascular,
interstitial
intracellular fluid - Answer-fluid within cells
extracellular fluid - Answer-fluid outside the cell
interstitial fluid - Answer-fluid in the spaces between cells
intravascular fluid - Answer-fluid within blood vessels
transcellular fluid - Answer-Transcellular fluid is fluid separated from other fluids by a
cellular barrier and consists of cerebrospinal, pleural, gastrointestinal, intraocular, peritoneal,
and synovial fluids (Elgart, 2004). Loss of transcellular fluid can produce fluid and electrolyte
disturbance.
Third-Spacing of Fluid - Answer-Fluid shifts out of the blood into a body cavity or tissue and
can no longer reenter vascular compartment
Isotonic - Answer-when the concentration of two solutions is the same
Sensible fluid loss - Answer-body fluid loss that is noticeable, such as through urine output
and sweating
insensible fluid loss - Answer-is the amount of body fluid lost daily that is not easily
measured, from the respiratory system, skin, and water in the excreted stool.
Hormones - Answer-the principal regulators of fluid and electrolyte balance

Kidney disease
Cirrhosis
Overdose of sodium concentrated fluids
Fluid shifts in burns
Prolonged use of corticosteroids
Severe stress
Hyperaldosteronism
Hypervolemia - Answer-fluid volume excess
