TERM 4 WEEK 1 ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCES, ABGS, FLUIDS

Normal osmolarity lab value A. 450-600 mosm/l B. 270-300 mosm/l C. 50-250 mosm/l - b. When the body has this concentration of particles to water, it is isotonic Isotonic= happy Which of the following can lead to hypovolemia? (select all that apply) A. Excessive sweating B. Large burns C. Diuretics D. Inadequate fluid intake E. Increased urination - all The body tries to compensate for volume loss by ________ the heart rate and strength of contractions. A. Increasing B. Decreasing - a. Increasing Tachypnea - rapid breathing Xerostomia - dry mouth Hypervolemia - fluid overload. Commonly caused by problems with the kidneys as they are responsible for balancing the salt and fluid in the body. The goal of tx is to rid the body of excess fluid Electrolytes are responsible for: - balancing the amount of water in the body balancing the body's ph (acid/base) level moving waste out of body cells moving nutrients into body cells allowing the body's muscles, heart, nerves, and brain to function properly Potassium lab value - 3.5-5.0 Sodium level - 135-145 Calcium level - 8.5-10.5Mag level - 1.8-2.2 The electrolyte ________ helps with nerve and muscle cell function while playing an imporant role in the muscle cells in the heart. A. Sodium B. Calcium C. Magnesium D. Potassium - d. Potassium The electrolyte _______ supports the function of nerves and muscles, helps maintain a normal blood pressure, and regulates the body's fluid balance. A. Calcium B. Sodium C. Potassium D. Magnesium - b. Sodium ___________ helps the body maintain strong bones and is mostly stored in teeth and bones to support their hardness. It also helps muscles move, nerves to carry messages between the brain and body, and blood vessels to move blood throughout the body. A. Potassium B. Calcium C. Sodium D. Magnesium - c. Calcium _______ solutions move water from extracellular space into cells A. Hypertonic B. Hypotonic C. Isotonic D. Crystalloid solutions - b. Hypotonic _______ solutions cause water to leave the cells A. Hypertonic B. Hypotonic C. Isotonic - a. Hypertonic
