Q

Watch the video in the power points

A
26
Q

What do electrolytes influence?

A

-Fluid balance, acid base balance, never impulses, muscle contraction, heart rhythm, and many other cell functions

27
Q

Because electrolytes function ______________, changes in one electrolyte can affect the ____________ of other electrolytes

A

collaboratively

balance

28
Q

What are electrolytes?

A

-Substances that are electrically charged when in a solution

29
Q

Concentrations of electrolytes depend on

A

-Electrolyte intake

-Electrolyte absorption (small intestines)

  • Electrolyte distribution (Postive vs negative charges)

-Electrolyte excretion (kidney function)

30

-Bicarbonate

-Calcium

32
Q

Positively charge electrolytes

A

-Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Calcium

33
Q

Negatively charge electrolytes

A

-Anions

-Phosphorus, chloride, bicarbonate

34
Q

Sodium Imbalances

A
  • <136 = Hyponatremia
  • > 145 = Hypernatremia
35
Q

Key point with sodium

A

-Primary driver of fluid balance. (water follows sodium)

36
Q

Sodium

A

Main ECF cation

Governs osmolality

influences water distribution

Activates muscle and nerve cells

interstitial and intravascular spaces

37
Q

Hyponatremia: Causes

A

GI losses: Diarrhea, vomiting, fistulas, NG suction

Renal losses: Diuretics, adrenal insufficiency

Skin losses: Burns, wound damage

Fasting diest, polydipsia

-Excess hypotonic fluid

38
Q

Sodium is high associated with symptoms related to what?

A

Our brain

39
Q

Hyponatremia: Signs and Symptoms

A

-Confusion and Altered LOC (not enough sodium in cells cause water in go into cells and cause the cells to swell)

-Anorexia and muscle weakness

-Seizures and coma

(Cellular swelling)

40
Q

Dilution Hyponatremia

A

-Taking in to much water

-Hypervolemia

-Fluid Restriction (Dilutional)

-Treat underlying problem

44

A

-Irreversible neurological or brain damage

-Osmotic demylenation syndrome

A

IV normal saline

47
Q

Sodium Bicrobonate

A

-Used for long term hyponatremia (Acid base issues)

48
Q

Sodium Bicarbonate: MOA

A

Dissociates to provide bicrabonate ion which neutralizes ion concentration and raises blood and urinary pH

49
Q

Sodium Bicarbonate: Indication

A

Metabolic acidosis

50
Q

Sodium Bicarbonate: Adverse effects

A

-Edema, cerebral hemorrhage, hypernatremia, lots of electrolyte abnormalities, metabolic alkalosis, flatulence with PO, tetany, pulmonary edema, heart failure exacerbation

51
Q

Sodium Bicarbonate: Nursing consideration

A

-Monitor cardiac , ABG’s and electrolytes

-If IV, monitor patency thoroughly

-Lots of drug interaction if the drug mixing with is diluted with sodium solutions

-PO-give 1-3 after or before meals

52
Q

Sodium Bicarbonate at high concentations

A

Is a vesicant

-Can cause tissue damage

-Give via central lines and things to help decrease vesicant

53
Q

Hypernatremia Causes

A

-IV fluids, tube feeds, near drowning in salt water

-Not enough water intake or to much water loss (Cognitively impaired, diarrhea, high fever, heat stroke)

54
Q

Hypernatremia: Signs and Symptoms

A

-Alter LOC/Confusion, seizure, coma

-Extreme thirst (hyperosmolatity)

-Dry sticky mucous membranes

-Muscle cramps

(Water shifting out of cells into extracellular space) (Shrinking brain cells)

55
Q

Hypernatremia: Treatment

A

-If H2O is cause then add water

-If sodium excess is cause remove sodium

56
Q

Gradually achieve normal sodium level over a 48 hour period to avoid edema of cerebral cells

A

-Too quick removal can damage brain cells and be lethal

-Physicians order: Infuse NSS @ 50cc/hr x 2hr then @ 75 cc/hr x 4h, then 100cc/hr

57
Q

What electrolytes are primarily outside of the cell?

A

Sodium and Chloride
