21
Q

Fluids and solutes move across cell membranes by four processes?

A

diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and active transport

22
Q

Hydrostatic pressure

A

is the force of the fluid pressing outward against the surface.

23
Q

ADH

A

Antidiuretic hormone is stored in the poster pituitary, and is released in response to changes in blood osmolarity. prevents diuresis thus causing the body to reabsorb water.

24
Q

Aldosterone

A

released by the adrenal cortex to counteract hypovolemia in response to increased plasma potassium levels or as part of the renin =-angiotensin aldosterone mechanism <increased blood volume.

25
Q

ANP

A

Atrial naturetic peptide is a hormone that promotes vasodilatation ( acts as a diuretic that causes sodium loss and diminishes thirst mechanism.

26
Q

Hyponatremia

A

lower than normal concentration of sodium in the blood (serum), which occurs when there is a net sodium loss or a net water excess. Normal extracellular sodium concentration is 135-145 mEq/L.

27
Q

Hypernatremia

A

is a greater than normal concentration of sodium in ECF caused by excess water loss or an overall sodium excess. 135-145 mEq/L are the normal levels.

28
Q

Hypokalemia

A

Inadequate amount of potassium in the ECF (The normal range for serum potassium is 3.5 to 5 mEg/L. (the body conserves potassium poorly, so any condition that increase urine output decreases serum output)

29
Q

Hyperkalemia

A

is a greater than normal amount of potassium in the blood. (renal failure) Normal range 3.5-5 mEq/L

30
Q

Hypocalcemia

A

represents a drop in serum ionized calcium. (illnesses that affect the thyroid and parathyroid gland) Normal ranges serum ionized 4.5-5.5 mg/dl.& total calcium levels are 8.5-10.5 mg/dL.

31
Q

Hypercalcemia

A

is an increase in the total serum concentration of calcium and/or ionized calcium. 4.5-5.5 mg/dL & total calcium levels are 8.5-10.5 mg/dL.

32
Q

Hypomagnesemia

A

a drop in serum magnesium levels, occurs with malnutrition and malabsorption disorders.Normal magnesium ranges from 1.5-2.5 mEq/L.

33
Q

Hypermagnesemia

A

an increase in serum magnesium levels, is often the result of excess intake. Normal magnesium ranges from 1.5-2.5 mEq/L.

34
Q

Hypochloremia

A

occurs when the serum chloride level falls below normal. (metabolic alkalosis results) - vomiting or excessive nasogastric or fistula drainage.Normal range from 95-105 mEq/L.

35
Q

Hyperchloremia

A

occurs when the serum chloride level rises above normal, which usually occurs when the serum bicarbonate value falls or sodium level rises. Normal serum concentrations of chloride range from 95-105 mEq/L.

36
Q

acidic

A

Less than 7.35

37
Q

alkalotic

A

more than 7.45 (base)

38
Q

Oxygen saturation

A

is the percentage of hemoglobin molecules saturated by oxygen. Normal ranges are greater than <90%.

39
Q

Respiratory acidoses

A

pH less than 7.35.

40
Q

Respiratory alkalosis

A

pH greater than 7.45

41
Q

Metabolic acidosis

A

pH less than 7.35

42
Q

Metabolic alkalosis

A

pH above 7.45;common cause are vomiting and gastric suction.

43
Q

FVE

A

(fluid volume excess) require restricted fluid intake.

44
Q

TPN

A

total parenteral nutrition- IV fluid and electrolyte therapy.- A nutritionally adequate hypertonic solution consisting of glucose, other nutrients, and electrolytes administered through a central venous catheter.

45
Q

Peripherally inserted central catheters

A

PICC- inserted in a peripheral vein in the arm, such as the cephalic vein, basilic vein, or brachial vein and then advanced through increasingly larger veins, toward the heart until the tip rests in the distal superior vena cava.

46
Q

VAD

A

Vascular access devices - access to the vascular system. Designed for long-term use.

47
Q

Isotonic (IV therapy)

A

is the solution used for extracellular volume replacement. e.g., FVD after prolonged vomiting.

48
Q

hypotonic (IV therapy)

A

EX: hypotonic fluid imbalance- moves fluid from the intravascular space into the cells, causing them to enlarge.

49
Q

Hypertonic (IV therapy)

A

hypertonic solutions pull fluid into vascular space by osmosis, resulting in an increased vascular volume, which can lead to pulmonary edema, particularly in patients with heart or renal failure.

50
Q

NOTE:

A

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU GIVE KCL IN AN IV PUSH. A DIRECT IV INFUSION OF KCL MAY BE FATAL, IV ADMINISTRATION REQUIRES DILUTION IN SOLUTION AND INFUSION OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

51
Q

Infiltration

A

occurs when IV fluids seep into subcutaneous tissue around the venipuncture site. -Swelling, pallor, coolness, pain.

52
Q

Phlebitis

A

Inflammation of the vein.
