301. If the nurse is initiating IV fluid replacement for a child who has dry, sticky mucous membranes, flushed skin, and fever of 103.6 F. Laboratory finding indicate that the child has a sodium concentration of 156 mEq/L. What physiologic mechanism contributes to this finding? Correct Answer- Insensible loss of body fluids contributes to the hemoconcentration of serum solutes. Rationale: Fever causes insensible fluid loss, which contribute to fluid volume and results in hemoconcentrati...

Positively charged electrolytes (cations) have a positive charge due to the presence of extra electrons. Major cations include - Sodium (Na+) Potassium (K+) Magnesium (Mg++) Calcium (Ca++) Negatively charged electrolytes (anions) have a negative charge due to the absence of an electron. Major anions include - Bicarbonate (HCO3-) Chloride (Cl-) Phosphate (H PO4-) The main electrolytes in body fluid - Na+ sodium Cl- chlorine Mg2+ magnesium Ca2+ calcium K+ potassium Hyponatremia Path...

S/S include hypotension, olguria and/or anuria, sticky mucous membranes Correct Answer-Fluid Volume Deficit Serum potassium less than 3.5 mEq/L Correct Answer-Hypokalemia Lab value Serum Potassium greater than 5 mEq/L Correct Answer-Hyperkalemia Lab value Occurs from an increase in metabolic acid or a decrease in bicarbonate Correct Answer-Metabolic Acidosis A solution with higher osmotic pressure than that of body fluids; pulls water out of the cells; used to repair electrolyte dist...

Fluid Electrolytes & Burns w/ ati Exam Questions With 100% Correct Answers 3 major types of dehydration and define each - answer1. Isotonic: = loss of Na and H20 (caused by V&D) Na WNL but hypovolemic shock can happen 2. Hypotonic (hyponatremic): greater loss of sodium than water. -CM's are much worse and shock can occur -serum Na<130 3. Hypertonic (Hypernatremic): NA loss is < water loss. serum Na> 150 shock is less likely but neurological changes can occur What is the main...
