Q

Neck vein distention, increase BP, weight gain, edema, heart failure

A

TBW change and electrolyte

18
Q

hemorrhage, wound drainage, excessive diaphoresis (sweat)

A

Isotonic fluid loss

19
Q

Excess IV fluid, hypersecretion aldosterone, drugs

A

excess isotonic fluid loss

20
Q

High NA in blood, serum NA>147mEq/L
From increase NA or net water loss, cell shrink, tachy, flushed dry skin, hypertension, thirst, elevate temp, weight loss

A

Hypernatremia

21
Q

inappropriate hypertonic solution

Over secretion aldosterone (cushing’s), NA reabsorbtion from kidney

Overingestion thru diet

A

Disease of Hypertonic fluid

22
Q
Intracellular overhydration (edema)
serum NA
A

Hyponatremia

23
Q

dehydration of vessels, insufficient sodium and water

A

hypovolemia

24
Q

normal 3.5-4.5

conducts nerve and muscle contraction

major intracellular electrolyte

A

Potassium (K)

25
Diagnosis serum measurement potassium
Hypokalemia
26
Serum >5.5 Excess K, or abnormal movement in and out of cell (burst), impair renal excretion, metabolic acidosis in diabetes, Addison's overingestion
Hyperkalemia
27
8.6-10.5 mg/dl , good for bones, teeth, blood clot, hormone secretion,
Calcium
28
2.5- 4.5 mg/dl buffer in acid-base regulation, energy for muscle contraction, in bones
Phosphate
29
1.8-2.4 mEq/L intracellular cation, enzyme reactions, interact with calcium, stored in bone and muscle.
Magnesium
30
Cause: poor intestine absorb, deposit of calcium in bone or soft tissue, decrease parathyroid hormone, Vit D and calcitonin Sx- increase neuromuscular excitability, muscle cramp, tetanus
hypocalcemia
31
Cause- bone cancer, hyperthyroidism, excess Vit D sx- decrease neuromuscular excitability muscle weakness, vomit, constipation, kidney stones
Hypercalcemia
32
cause: poor GI absorption and increas renal excretion sx- anorexia, weakness, tremor, seizure, coma, anemia, bleeding
Hypophosphatemia
33
cause; acute or chronic renal failure when low glomerular filtration sx- same as hypocalcemia
Hyperphosphatemia
34
cause: malabsorption syndromes, hypocalcemia and hypokalemia sx- tetany, convulsion, tachycardia, hypotension
hypomagnesemia
35
cause- renal failure sx- muscle weakness, hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory depression
hypermagnesemia
36
H+, by product of macros, volatile- eliminate as c02 nonvolatile- eliminate by kidney
Acid
37
acidemia, alkalemia
38
increase or decrease ventilation acidic/alkaline urine, secret H into urine and reabsorb bicarb
respiratory renal
39
renal failure, diabetic ketoacidosis non carb acid increase or bicarb loss from ECF Sx- lethargy-coma, kussmaul breathing-increase ph by blowing c02, anorexia, diarrhea, ab discomfort, arrythmia, hypotension
metabolic acidosis
40
excess loss of metabolic acidosis, increase bicarb cause- diuretic sx- weakness, muscle cramp, tetany, slow respiration, confusion, tachy
metabolic alkalosis
41
excess blood c02>45 cause- respiratory muscle paralysis, chest wall disorder, (lung disorder) sx- blur vision, breathless, restless, skin warm and flush, elevated c02 vasodilate
respiratory acidosis
42
PaC02
respiratory alkalosis
