Chronic Regulatory test #4 Flashcards
isotonic
a happy cell that is equal parts plasma and solutes
Hypotonic IV fluids definition and kinds
contains fewer solutes than plasma.
types:1/2 NS, 1/4 NS and 1/3 NS
Hypertonic IV fluids definition and kinds
contains greater concertation of solutes than plasma
types: 3% saline 5% saline D10W D5NS and DSLR
hypovolemia
fluid volume deficit
preferred method of fluid replacement when someone is hypovolemic?
oral fluid intake!
it is less invasive than IV
Signs of hypovolemia
- rapid but weak pulse
- low BP
- Decrease in body temp, unless it is becuse of an infection
medical treatment of hypervolemia
- reducing sodium
- diuretics
- potassium supplements
T/F
any loop diuretic or thiazide should also be given with a potassium supplement
True
Treating hyponatremia (<135 MEQ/ L)
monitor I&O, weight, GI and CNS symptoms and serum sodium
Increase sodium in the diet, if not possible supplement by giving sodium chloride
hypernatremia (>145 MEQ/L)
Monitor I&O, weight, thirst, change in behavior, and checking serum sodium levels.
-Giving diuretics or hypotonic elecreolyte solution
What would we do to manage hyperkalemia?
-ECG to monitor for arrhythmias
-restrict potassium
constipation is common
-IV calcium gluconate
- IV insulin
- IV sodium bicarb
-polystrene sulfonate (kayalte)
What levels are considered hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia?
Hypocalcemia: (<8.6)
Hypercalcemia ( >10.2)
How to treat hypocalcemia?
recommend to take 1000 to 1500 mg a day of Ca+
low calcium at risk for seizures so “you should have them on seizure precautions”
take with vitamin D to boost absorption
acute: administer IV calcium salt (calcium gluconate or calcium chloride)
What IV fluids can be given if someone is hypercalcemic
Furosemide
Phosphate
Calcitonin
Bisphosphonate
what should we have on hand to treat hypermagnesmia or hypocalcemic tetny
Calcium gluconate
what should we monitor in sever hypomagnesemia situation
- monitor for dysphagia
- use seizure precautions
What kinds of fluids can we use to treat Hypermagnesemia?
IV Calcium gluconate
- hemodialysis
- Ventilatory support
IV calcium gluconate
used to protect the heart
What should be a monitor for someone with hypermagnesimia?
LOC and decrease in deep tendon reflexes
Chronic Kidney Disease manifestations
HIGH serum creatinine levels metabolic acidosis electrolyte abnormalities fluid retention ( risk for CHF) anemia LOW GFR
Common kidney electrolyte abnormalities
You are going to see low calcium and high phosphate
calcium is the only one that will be low all of the other electrolytes will be high
