j Interstitial fluid - The fluid is the water that surrounds the body' s cells and includes lymph.
Intravascular fluid, or blood plasma - The fluid within arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Transcellular fluids - These fluids are those in specific compartments of the body, such as cerebrospinal
fluid, digestive juices, and synovial fluid in joints.
Osmolarity - This term refers to the concentration of the substances in body fluids.
Between 270 and 300 milliosmoles per liter (mOsm/L). - The normal osmolarity of blood is between:
Hypovolemia - This condition occurs when the patient is hemorrhaging or when fluids from other parts
of the body are lost. For example, severe vomiting and diarrhea, severely draining wounds, and profuse
diaphoresis (sweating) can cause dehydration.
Hypovolemia - The most common form of dehydration results from loss of fluid from the body, resulting
in decreased blood volume is
Hypervolemia - The most common result of fluid excess is ______________ in which there is excess fluid
in the intravascular space.
Hyponatremia - This condition occurs when there is a low serum sodium level?
Hypernatremia - This condition occurs when there is a high serum sodium level?
, Hypokalemia - This condition occurs when there is a inadequate intake of Potassium deficit.
Hypocalcemia - The patient with inadequate absorption of calcium from the intestines, as seen in
patients with Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. In- sufficient intake of vitamin D
prevents calcium absorption as well causes?
To test for Trousseau's sign, a patient with hypocalcemia. - By inflating a blood pressure cuff around the
patient's upper arm for 1 to 4 minutes. The hand and fingers become spastic and go into palmar flexion
Hyperkalemia - This condition occurs when there is potassium excess?
Hypocalcemia - This condition occurs when there is a calcium deficit?
Hypercalcemia - This condition occurs when there is a calcium excess?
Pulmonary edema - The fluid then backs up into the lungs, causing a condition known as:
1.5 grams daily - The adequate intake (AI) of sodium is for adults through age 49 •
1.3 grams daily - The adequate intake (AI) of sodium for those adults aged 50 to 70 •
1.2 grams daily - The adequate intake (AI) of sodium for adults aged 71 and older
2.3 grams daily - The upper tolerable intake level (UL) for sodium which is contained in slightly more than
a teaspoon of salt.
Hypercalcemia Signs and Symptoms - Ca++ >11 mg/dL or 5.5 mEq/L,
Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure,
Skeletal Muscle Weakness,
