Isotonic solution - Osmolality close to blood plasma, adds volume
Hypertonic solution - Osmolality higher than serum, causes cells to shrink
Hypotonic solution - Osmolality lower than serum, causes cells to swell
Drip factor calculation - Total solution divided by total time to infuse
Risk for imbalanced fluid and electrolytes - Dehydration
Hypervolemia - Too much fluid in the body
Rapid fluid infusion - Too much solution into the body too quickly
Hypovolemia - Too little fluid in the body
Fluid balance assessment - BP, Pulse, I & O
IV assessments - Vitals, I & O, Respiratory and Cardiac assessment
Primary IV - Main line for fluids
Secondary IV - Additional line for medications piggybacked into main line
Infiltration - Fluid that has escaped from vein into surrounding tissue
, Phlebitis - Inflammation of the vein
Core contamination risk - Central lines or central venous catheters
Brain stem function assessment - Glascow Coma Scale
Narcotics and head injuries - No, can alter the LOC
Autonomic dysreflexia - Distention of the bowel or retention of urine in the bladder
Eliminating autonomic dysreflexia - Relieving retention of the bladder or distention of the
bowel
Seizures and head injuries - Swelling in the cranium or electrical disturbance
Priority diagnosis for neurosensory alteration - Airway, Breathing, Circulation
Tubing for infusion - Y setup with a filter
Infusion reaction time frame - Within 15 minutes
Assessments before, during, and after infusion - Vitals, Respiratory & Cardiac
assessment, Skin assessment, I & O
Self-donated blood - Autologous
Reaction during blood infusion - Stop infusion, start primary line, monitor for further
reactions
