elder have lower total % Correct Answer.-body fluid than younger adults


A client with renal disease requires IV fluids. It is important for the
nurse to Correct Answer.-place the fluid on an electronic devise


renal regulation Correct Answer.-Nephron receptors sensedecreased
pressure (low osmolarity) andkidney secretes RENIN.Renin -
Angiotensin I - Angiotensin II

,What is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for an 80 yr old with the
diagnosis of congestive heart failure with symptoms of edema,
orthopnea & confusion? Correct Answer.-Extracellular volume excess
related to heart failure as evidence by edema and & orthopnea


A decrease in arterial blood will result in the release of Correct Answer.-
renin


Hypokalemia patient lab result show a serum potassium of 3.2 mEq/L.
For what should you be alert? Correct Answer.-muscle weakness, fatigue,
& dysrhythmias (3.5 - 5)


Angiotensin II causes Correct Answer.-Na and H20 retentionby kidneys
AND Stimulates Adrenal Cortex to secreteAldosterone which causes
kidneys to excreteK and retain Na and H20


body fluids Correct Answer.-in constant motion
transporting nutrients, electrolytes,
and oxygen to cells while carrying
away waste products


fluid imbalances are caused by Correct Answer.-- Disease- Prolong
vomiting/diarrhea- Treatments (e.g. cancer) affect theconstant stability


A patient's most recent blood work indicates a K+ level of 7.2 mEq/L, a
finding that constitutes hyperkalemia. What signs and symptoms should

,the nurse vigilantly monitor for? Correct Answer.-Cardiac irregularities,
hyperkalemia - too much potassium in blood


osmosis Correct Answer.-Area of low solute concentration to area of high
soluteconcentration- Cell surrounded by hypertonic solution shrinks


Diffusion Correct Answer.-Solutes move from area of higher
concentration to oneof lower concentration- O2 from Lungs into
vascular


filtration Correct Answer.-Movement of water, solutes occurs from area of
highhydrostatic pressure to area of low hydrostaticpressure- The
glomerulus is the site of filtration


active transport Correct Answer.-Physiologic pump that moves fluid from
area of lowerconcentration to one of higher concentration- Uptake of
glucose from intestine into vascular

reduced fluid intake
loss of body fluids
