Fluid and electrolyte dynamic
balance is what type
of process?
What is homeostasis? constant internal equilibrium
Is a patient in acute No! They wouldn't need t be in the hospital if
care in homeostasis? they were.
How can you by performing an assessment
determine if a person
is in homeostasis?
What patient(s) would CHF, Renal failure, and Cushing's
we never force fluids
on?
What are some ways vomiting, defecating, urinating, sweating,
humans can loose breathing, bleeding, etc.
water?
What percent of fluid ICF: 2/3rds
is ICF? ECF? ECF: 1/3rd
active chemicals that carry positive (cations)
What are electrolytes?
and negative (anions) electrical charges
,What are the major sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium
cations?
What are the major chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate, sulfate
anions?
Movement of fluid -hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure
through capillary walls
depends on...
What is hydrostatic pressure exerted on the walls of the blood
pressure? vessels
What is osmotic pressure exerted by protein in plasma
pressure?
The direction of fluid differences in hydrostatic and osmotic
movement depends pressure
on what?
regulation of fluid from area
of low solute concentration
What is osmosis?
to area of high solute
concentration
solutes move from area of
higher concentration to one
What is diffusion?
of lower concentration
The movement of water and solutes across the
What is filtration? cell membrane due to hydrostatic pressure
from the cardiovascular system.
physiologic pump that moves fluid from areas
What is active
of lower concentration of one of higher
transport?
concentration
,The body maintains a the sodium-potassium pump
higher concentration
of extracellular
sodium and
intracellular potassium
due to what?
What does active ATP energy
transport require?
the concentration of fluid that affects the
What is osmolality? movement of water between fluid
compartments by osmosis
What does osmolality the solute concentration in blood and urine
measure?
What is serum -Sodium, BUN, Glucose
osmolality composed -280-300 mOsm/kg
of?
What is the normal
level?
What is urine urea, creatinine, uric acid
osmolality composed -200-800 mOsm/kg
of?
What is the normal
level?
What are some ways -dietary intake of fluid, food, or enteral feeding
to gain fluid? -parenteral fluids
If you are listen to lung sounds (listen for SOB, coughing,
administering fluids crackles)
you must....
The kidneys filter 180 L of plasma
__________ L of ___________
everyday in the adult
patient.
, The average adult 1-2
excretes ___________ L of
urine per day.
Urine output must be 30 mL (must have a foley to be able to
at least _______ per hour measure accurately)
How often should Every shift
catheter care be
performed?
Geriatric patients have cardiac, renal, &respiratory function
reduced homeostatic
mechanisms like...
Regarding body fluid no, they have decreased body fluid
percentage do percentage
geriatric patients have
the normal 60%?
What is the difference -FVD: water and electrolytes are lost in the
between fluid volume same amount
deficit (hypovolemia) -Dehydration: water loss without electrolytes
and dehydration? loss
What increases during serum sodium level
dehydration?
-vomiting
-diarrhea
-fever
What are some causes -excess sweating
of fluid volume -burns
deficit? -blood loss
-GI suctioning
-decreased intake (anorexia, nausea)
-Diabetes Insipidus)
