hypovolemia - too little fluid leads to extracellular volume deficit (ECV deficit)
Give this one a try later!
assessment findings:
sudden weight loss
skin tenting: dehydration
dry mucous membranes: dehydration
, vascular underload
-rapid thready pulse
-postural BP drop with concurrent HR increase
-lightheadedness
-flat neck veins when supine
-oliguria (decreased urine production = dehydration)
-syncope
-circulatory shock if severe
hypokalemia = too little potassium
Give this one a try later!
potassium in general supports nerve and muscle function; as well as
important role in muscle cells of heart
**lab value: < 3.5
NEVER give as IV push, affects the heart
hyperkalemia assessment findings
Give this one a try later!
-bilateral ascending flaccid muscle weakness
-cardiac dysrhythmias
-cardiac arrest (if severe)
treatment: D50 fluids, insulin, diuretics to increase urination and waste of
potassium, dialysis if kidney function is limited
**monitor heart!
hydrostatic pressure
