NUR210- Unit 3 Exam Questions
and Answers 100% PASS
Sodium Patho—ANSWER-Sodium ions outnumber any other cations in the ECF: therefore it
is essential in the fluid regulation of the body
Potassium Patho—ANSWER-The ECF had a s low concentration of potassium and can
tolerate only small changes in its concentration
Fluid retention causes—ANSWER-Retention of sodium is associated with fluid retention.
Fluid Overload causes—ANSWER-maybe be related to a simple fluid overload of diminished
function of the homeostatic mechanisms responsible for regulating fluid balance
Fluid volume excess CM—ANSWER-Acute weight loss, decreased skin turgor , oliguria,
concentrated urine, orthostatic hypotension, a weak rapid HR, flattened neck veins,
increased temperature, thirst decreases or delayed capillary refill , cool clammy skin, muscle
weakness and cramps
Fluid volume excess CM—ANSWER-Clinical manifestations of FVE include edema, distended
neck veins, and crackles.
hyponatremia CM—ANSWER-anorexia, nausea and vomiting, headache, lethargy, dizziness,
confusion, muscle cramps and weakness, muscular twitching, seizures, dry skin, and edema.
, Hypernatremia CM—ANSWER-thirsts, elevated body temperature, hallucinations, lethargy,
restlessness, pulmonary edema, twitching, increased BP, and pulse.
Hypokalemia CM—ANSWER-fatigue, anorexia, muscle weakness, polyuria, decreased bowel
motility, paresthesia, ileus, abdominal distention, and hypoactive reflexes
Hyperkalemia CM—ANSWER-muscle weakness, tachycardia, paresthesia, dysrhythmias,
intestinal colic, cramps, abdominal distention, and anxiety.
Hypocalcemia CM—ANSWER-numbness, tingling of fingers, toes, and circumoral region,
positive Trousseau's sign and Chvostek's sign, seizures, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes,
irritability, and bronchospasm.
Hypercalcemia CM—ANSWER-muscle weakness, constipation, anorexia, nausea and
vomiting, dehydration, hypoactive deep tendon reflexes lethargy, calcium stones, flank pain,
pathologic fractures, and deep bone pain.
Hypomagnesemia CM—ANSWER-neuromuscular irritability, positive Trousseau's and
Chvostek's sign, insomnia, mood changes, anorexia, vomiting, and increased deep tendon
reflexes
Hypermagnesemia CM—ANSWER-flushing, hypotension, muscle weakness, drowsiness,
hypoactive reflexes, depressed respirations, and diaphoresis.
Hypophosphatemia CM—ANSWER-paresthesias, muscle weakness, bone pain and
tenderness, chest pain, confusion, seizures, tissue hypoxia, and nystagmus
Hyperphosphatemia CM—ANSWER-tetany, tachycardia, anorexia, nausea and vomiting,
muscle weakness, and hyperactive reflexes.
