Chapter 29 - Fluid, Electrolytes, Flashcards
includes cerebrospinal, synovial, peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial fluids
transcellular
movement across cell membranes
osmosis
sodium normal levels (Na)
135-145
Potassium (K) normal levels
3.5-5.0
O+ antigen present
Rh
O- antigens present
none
A+antigens present
A. Rh
A- antigens present
A
B+ antigens present
B, Rh
B- antigens present
B
AB+ antigens
A, B, Rh
AB- antigens
A, B
two blood types most likely to cause a transfusion reaction
ABO and Rh groups of antigents
universal donors
O
universal recipients
AB
moves into the cell by pump. Serum levels regulated by the kidneys though reabsorption or excretion
Potassium
moves OUT of cell by pump. Regulated by secretion of aldosterone and ANP
sodium
when is whole blood used
massive hemmorrhage
dehydration percentages
2% mild
5% moderate
8% severe
15%life threatening
fluid volume excess
2% gain is mild
5% gain is moderate
8% gain is severe excess
occurs when the sodium level is decreased in relation to body water
hyponatremia
occurs when the serum sodium levels is greater than 145 mEq/L
hypernatremia
what are the four primary causes of edema
hydrostatic pressure due to fluid overload, decreased production of circulating plasma proteins, obstruction of lymphatic drainage, increased capillary permeability due to tissue damage
also known as third spacing, develops when fluid moves into a tissue at a faster rate than it can be reabsorbed into the intravascular spaace
edema
pressure exerted by a fluid within a compartment, such as blood within the vessels. moves fluid from an area of greater pressure to an area of lesser pressure
hydrostatic pressure
continual intermingling of molecules with movement of molecules from a solution of higher concentration to a solution of lower concentration
diffusion
what is true about the ration of patients fluid intake to output
intake should be slightly more than output
what BEST reflects fluid and electrolyte imbalance in older adults
serum lab values. I/O only reflects FLUID
remove and intravenous catheter by withdrawing it along
the same path of its insertion to minimize injury
