Q

this

A

Kidneys release Renin, converts Angiotensin I .

Travels to the lungs, meets ACE and change to Angio II (Potent vasoconstrictor).

Na+ = Neuromuscular

critical level is under 120

increased sodium = increased water retention

105
Q

what happens to cells when sodium levels are low

when high

A

When sodium levels are low (hyponatremia), water is drawn into the cells of the body, causing them to swell. hyponatramia= hypervolemia

In contrast, high levels of sodium in ECF (hypernatremia) draw water out of body cells, causing them to shrink//hypernatramia=hypovolemia

A

If patient is unable to replace water loss they get dehydrated and hypernatremic,

230
Q

What treatments/interventions would be used to treat (including diet and medications)?-

initally

replacing

what iv if high sodium

what do if high sodium

A

initially correcting fluid deficits,

and replacing ADH with vasopressin

hypotonic solutions are used if sodium is high

seizure precautions id sodium is is high

231
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone-

high levels

water
urine

A

high levels of ADH

water retention

small amounts of concentrated urine output

232
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone-

l/h

injury
disease
adverse reaction

whose at risk

A

lukemia and hodkpngs lymphona

heda injury

pulmonary disease

adverse reaction of sari

233
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone-

diagnostics

sodium
osmoloarity
specific gravity

A

low sodium,

low osmolarity,

high specifc gravity

234
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone- manifestations

urine- output/c
natramia
fluid w/
changes
wt w/

A

Hyponatremia-

fluid retention with thirst ,

decreased urine output and concentrated urine,

mental status/personality Changes,

Weight gain w/ no edema

235
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone-What are the potential complications?

too rapid
what if hyponatramia

A

Too rapid replacement of sodium can case demyelination of central nervous system

seizures if hyponatremia is severe leading to cerebral edema

236
Q

Syndrome of Inappropriate Anti-diuretic Hormone-interventions

restrict
keep
med
iv fluid

A

Restrict fluids,

keep patient safe /

/ loop diuretics-excretion of fluid volume//

iv hypertonic solution if severe

diarrhea

abdominal discomfort,

bowel distention and tender,

loud and hyperactive sounds

239
Q

Adult with Gastroenteritis- diagnostics

lab testing

sigmoidoscopy why

A

lab testing to causative organism and to assess fluid electrolyte imbalance. ,

sigmoidoscopy to differentiae ibd from infections

240
Q

Adult with Gastroenteritis- complications

A

electrolyte imbalances- hypos

hypovoemiv shock

241
Q

Adult with Gastroenteritis interventions

should

if manifestations

replacing fluids->

precautions

A

Should resolve on own, so no meds required unless severely ill or prolonged

manifestations- then look for “mycin” antibiotics- need stool culture first. /// antidiarrheal promote comfort

replacing lost fluids-> oral rehydration

iso precautions

242
Q

Adult with Gastroenteritis

if getting culture

importance of

wash

importance of
dont leave

A

If getting stool culture, use clean bedpan and avoid urine and toilet paper if possible to get best results

importance of hand hygiene,

wash clothing and linens, oral solutions,

, importance of proper food handling

,don’t leave dairy products or egg products at room temperature

243
Q

Metabolic acidosis-

inc
urine
results from

A

inc respirations,

acidic urine,

results from diahhrea because lots of sodium is lost

244
Q

Metabolic alkalosis-

from
what’s lost
respirations

A

from vomiting,

chl is lost,

slow respirations,

245
Q

why not hypo/hyper fast administration

A

can cause fluid shifts that will overcorrect
