CPN Exam Fluid/Elec, Renal, GU Flashcards
Mild Dehydration
Normal tear and urine output
Increased specific gravity
Thirst
Normal heart rate/cap refill
Moderate Dehydration
↓ tear and urine output
↑ heart rate
Irritability or decreased activity
Severe Dehydration
No tears or urine output
Sluggish/decreased capillary refill
Mottled/cool skin
Neuro status depressed
Isotonic Dehydration
No movement of water between intracellular and extracellular spaces
Sodium and water loss equal
Normal sodium levels
Hypotonic Dehydration
Extracellular to intracellular movement of water (earlier signs of dehydration)
Sodium loss greater than water loss
Isotonic Dehydration causes
vomiting
diarrhea
NPO status
burns
Hypotonic Dehydration causes
water intoxication ; watering down/diluting infant formula (one of leading causes of seizures in healthy babies)
Hypertonic Dehydration
Intracellular to extracellular movement of water
Hypertonic Dehydration causes
excessive sweating, ketoacidosis, malnutrition, diabetes insipidus
