UPDATED | 100% RATED CORRECT GRADED A+
Fluid balance - (ANSWER)Proper levels of water and electrolytes being in the various body
compartments according to their needs.
Orally, IV - (ANSWER)How we take in fluids
Sweating, defecation, urination, vomiting - (ANSWER)How you excrete fluids
1/2 to 2/3 - (ANSWER)Water makes up this much of a persons weight
Water intake - (ANSWER)What must balance water loss
1 1/2 to 2 quarts - (ANSWER)How much a person should drink a day
Dehydration - (ANSWER)Body loses more water than it takes in
Vasopressin (ADH) - (ANSWER)Stimulates kidneys to conserve water and excrete less urine
Thirst, Pituitary gland - (ANSWER)Mechanisms that maintain water balance
Vasopressin - (ANSWER)When the body is low in water, the pituitary gland secretes this
hormone into the blood stream
Osmosis - (ANSWER)Water flows passively from one compartment of the body to another by
this
,Isotonic - (ANSWER)Concentration of dissolved particles or tonicity equal to that of
intracellular fluid. (same pressure inside and outside of the cell wont shrink nor swell)
D5W (isotonic) - (ANSWER)Used for fluid loss, dehydration, and hypernatremia-- DO NOT use
for resuscitation, as it can cause hyperglycemia, use cautiously in renal or cardiac disease pt.
NS (isotonic) - (ANSWER)Used for shock, hyponatremia, blood transfusion, resuscitation, fluid
challenges, metabolic alkalosis, hypercalcemia, DKA fluid replacement-- DO NOT use in
patients with heart failure, edema, or hypernatremia as it can cause fluid overload.
LR (isotonic) - (ANSWER)Used for dehydration, burns, lower GI tract fluid loss, acute blood
loss, hypovolemia, milk metabolic acidosis, salicylate overdose. This solution contains
potassium-- DO NOT use in patients with renal failure, liver disease, and do not use if pt pH is
greater than 7.5
D5 1/2 NS (hypertonic) - (ANSWER)Used for DKA after initial treatment with NS and 1/2 NS
prevents hypoglycemia and cerebral edema --ONLY use in pt with DKA when glucose falls
below 250
Hypertonic - (ANSWER)Tonicity greater than intracellular fluid, osmotic pressure is unequal
inside and outside the cells
D5NS (hypertonic) - (ANSWER)Used in hypotonic dehydration, temporary treatment of
circulatory insufficiency and shock if plasma expanders aren't available, Addisons disease-- DO
NOT use in pt with cardiac or renal disease because of the danger of heart failure and pulmonary
edema.
D10 (hypertonic) - (ANSWER)Used for water replacement and conditions in which some
nutrition with glucose is required. Monitor glucose levels closely
,Hypotonic - (ANSWER)Tonicity less than that of intracellular fluid, so osmotic pressure draws
water into the cells from the extracellular fluid.
1/2 NS (hypertonic) - (ANSWER)Used for water replacement, DKA after initial NS and before
dextrose infusion, hypertonic dehydration, sodium and chloride depletion, gastric fluid loss from
NG tube suctioning vomiting use cautiously can cause cardiovascular collapse or increased
intracranial pressure-- DO NOT use in pt with liver disease, trauma or burns.
Personal Identity - (ANSWER)A sense of oneself that is influenced by characteristics, norms,
and values of the nursing discipline, resulting in an individual thinking, acting and feeling like a
nurse.
Professional identity - (ANSWER)Developed in many ways, through real and stimulated
experiences and reflection and role modeling by professional colleagues.
Erikson's Theory - (ANSWER)Theory of psychosocial development
Piaget's Theory - (ANSWER)Theory of cognitive development
Kohlberg's theory - (ANSWER)Theory of development
Interventions for building a professional identity - (ANSWER)Hearing expectations clearly
Value debriefing and feedback from role models
Engage in reflection
Actively adopt a professional identity
Understand your own responsibilities for learning and be accountable for them
Build relationships with those around you
Develop personal self care habits
Embrace any opportunity or experiences with patients
, Professional Identity Interrelated Concepts - (ANSWER)Clinical judgement
Leadership
Ethics
Communication
Examples of integrity - (ANSWER)Follow through with pain med
Call physician if pt asks you to
Check the Code chart
Give meds within 30 min window
Health Care Quality - (ANSWER)The degree to which health services for individuals and
populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current
professional knowledge
Components of quality - (ANSWER)Patient care outcomes
Patient satisfaction
Evidence based care delivery
Delivery of safe care
Patient centered care
Resource efficient
Major attributes of Health Care Quality - (ANSWER)Safe
Effective
Timely
Patient-Centered
Efficient
Equitable
