What is a normal range for maintaining urine specific gravity? 1010-1025
True or false: blood and blood product replacement are given in dehydration False
Would a patient with hypernatremia have excessive or decreased thirst? excessive
These are all foods you could give to a patient with ___:
- citrus fruits
- melons
- celery Fluid volume deficit
These are all foods you would give to a patient with __:
Banana
Citrus fruits
Apricots
Melons
Broccoli
Potatoes
Raisins
Lima beans hypokalemia
Spironolactone ___ potassim; whereas furosemide ___ potassium spares; wastes
Calcium or soidum may result in ___ problems; whereas potassium may result in ___ problems
if there is an imbalance neurologic; cardiac
,You would use a ___ solution to temporarily expand the extracellular compartment and treat:
- hypovolemia
- metabolic alkalosis
- mild hyponatremia
- hypercalcemia isotonic
A __ solution is used to prime with administration of a blood transfusion isotonic
A ___ solution contains multiple electrolytes in about the same concentrations as found in
plasma and is used to treat:
- hypovolemia
- burns
- fluid loss from GI source Lactated ringers
Which type of solution should you be concerned about swelling in the brain? Hypotonic
This hypertonic solution supplies fluid and calories to the body and shifts fluid from intracellular
compartments into the intravascular space, expanding vascular volume 5% dextrose in
lactated ringers
This hypertonic solution is used to treat SIADH and can temporarily be used to treat
hypovolemia if plasma expander isn't available 5% in 0.9% NaCl
The ___ catheter is the most common and can stay in for 72-96 hr intervals peripheral
venous
, The ___ catheter is a longer catheter that isn't centrally located and can stay in for 1-4 week
intervals midline peripheral
The ___ catheter is located in the lower portion of superior vena cava and needs ultrasound
guidance for placement. This is used in chemo patients and long term antibiotics and lasts for 6
weeks to 6 months intervals Central line access
A ___ is a type of CVAD and is the longest catheter which needs 2 flushes and a radiographic
verification before use. It is used for parenteral nutrition, vesicants, hyperosmolar solutions,
chemotherapy. PICC Line
A ___ is a type of CVAD that has a shorter dwell time less than 14 days and is introduced
through the skin into internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins. It is used for short-term
critical access with patients who are unstable and has a high risk for complications including
infection and pneumothorax. Nontunneled percutaneous central venous catheter
A ___ is a type of CVAD intended for long-term use which is implanted into the internal,
external jugular or subclavian vein. It is tunneled into subcutaneous tissue under the skin and is
associated with lower incidence of infection Tunneled central venous catheter
A ___ is a subcutaneous injection port attached to a catheter which is often seen in chemo
patients. These are associated with the lowest risk for bloodstream infections and require
minimal care Implanted port
There would be no more than a total of __ attempts to starts an IV 4
- 2 for each nurse
These are all reasons to use a __ gauge needle:
- Hypertonic solutions and irritating medications administered at a rapid rate
