Terms in this set (126)
iv fluids - maintenance and replacement
, - lower osmolarity when compared to plasma --
dilutes ECF
hypotonic
- maintenance fluids
- monitor for changes in mentation
- expands only ECF, no net gain or loss -- ideal to
isotonic
replace ECF volume deficit
- used to replace water losses
D5W
- helps prevent ketosis
- NS
- 0.9% saline
Normal Saline - NSS
- used when both fluid and sodium is loss
- only solution used with BLOOD
- expands ECF, treats burns and GI losses
Lactated Ringers Solution - contraindicated with liver dysfunction,
hyperkalemia, and severe hypovolemia
hypertonic - draws water out of the cell into ECF
D5 1/2 NS - maintenance fluid, replaces fluid loss
-provides free water but no electrolytes
D10W - limit of dextrose concentration that may be infused
peripherally
- stay in vascular space and increases oncotic
colloids pressure
- human plasma products, semisynthetic
- generating nerve infuses, muscle contractility, and
sodium
regulates acid-base balance
electrolyte imbalance - thirst
assessment: - mental changes
sodium - fluid volume deficit symptoms
hyper
, - headache
- irritability
electrolyte imbalance
- difficulty concentrating
assessment:
- confusion
sodium
- vomiting
hypo
- seizures
- coma
- resting membrane potential of nerve and muscle
potassium cells, cellular growth, cardiac rhythm, and acid-base
balance
- dysrhythmias
electrolyte imbalance - fatigue
assessment: - confusion
potassium - muscle cramps
hyper - weak or paralyzed skeletal muscles
- abdominal cramping or diarrhea
electrolyte imbalance - leg weakness
assessment: - weakness of respiratory muscles
potassium - decreased GI motility
hypo - hyperglycemia
- formation of teeth and bones, blood clotting,
calcium transmission of nerve impulses, myocardial
contractions, and muscle contraction
- fatigue
- lethargy
- weakness
- confusion
electrolyte imbalance - hallucinations
assessment: - seizures
calcium - coma
hyper - dysthymias
- bone pain
- fractures
- polyuria
- dehydration
