20
Q

The movement of solvent molecules across a membrane in response to a concentration gradient, usually from a concentration of lower to one of higher solute concentration?

A

OSMOSIS

note: Pulls out of solvent by the solutes

21
Q

It is the movement of solutes an solvents by hydrostatic pressure?

A

FILTRATION

Note: Pulls out of solvent and solutes the same time by hydrostatic pressure

22
Q

What is the total fluid intake of a person per day?

A

2300-2900 ml

23
Q

What is the total fluid output of a person per day?

A

2600-3000 ml

24
Q

What is the largest source of fluid intake? How many ml?

A

Ingested water 1200-1500 ml

25
Q

What are the three sources of fluid intake?

A

Ingested water, Ingested food and metabolic acidation.

26
Q

What are the 4 sources of fluid output?

A

Kidneys, Insensible loss through the skin and lungs, and GI tract.

27
Q

What is the largest source of fluid output? How many ml?

A

Kidneys 1500 ml

28
Q

What is the lowest source of fluid intake? How many ml?

A

Metabolic oxidation 300 ml

29
Q

How many mL of fluid output loss through lungs?

A

400-600 ml

30
Q

How many mL of fluid output loss through skin?

A

600-800 mL

31
Q

How many mL of fluid intake through ingested food?

A

800-1100 mL

32
Q

How many mL of fluid intake through ingested water?

A

1200-1500 mL

33
Q

What is the normal value of Potassium?

A

3.5-5.0 mEq/L

34
Q

What is the most abundant intracellular cation?

A

POTASSIUM

35
Q

Is Potassium located inside the cell?

A

YES

36
Q

TRUE or FALSE. You will get a blood sample/specimen in order to check for Potassium level.

A

TRUE

37
Q

What are the causes for HYPOKALEMIA?

A
  1. Loss of K+
  2. Lack of K+ intake
  3. Shifting of K+ from ECF to ICF
  4. Serum Dilution
38
Q

What is the function of Potassium?

A

Movement of muscles and pumping of the heart

39
Q

This diuretics can cause the patient to loss potassium?

A

THIAZIDE

Note: (T)hiazide (T)throws the potassium

40
Q

If Potassium increased, what will happen to sodium, will increase or decrease?

A

DECREASE
note: K+ and Na are inversely proportional

41
Q

What ECG changes you will expect to see to a patient with hypokalemia?

A

Prominent U waves
Inverted T waves
ST segment depression

42
Q

ECG changes that only happen in hypokalemia?

A

Prominent U waves

43
Q

Why we need to attach the patient with HYPO/HYPERkalemia to a cardiac monitor?

A

Because a patient might experience ECG changes

44
Q

As a nurse, what important consideration you need to remember prior to administering potassium through oral?

a. This has unpleasant taste and therefore be taken with juice.
b. Need to dilute first
c. can cause nausea, and should not be given in an empty stomach
D. All of the above

A

c. can cause nausea, and should not be given in an empty stomach

45
Q

As a nurse, what important consideration you need to remember prior to administering potassium through liquid?

a. This has unpleasant taste and therefore be taken with juice.
b. Need to dilute first
c. can cause nausea, and should not be given in an empty stomach
D. All of the above

A

a. This has unpleasant taste and therefore be taken with juice.

46
Q

As a nurse, what important consideration you need to remember prior to administering potassium via IV?

a. This has unpleasant taste and therefore be taken with juice.
b. Diluted and administered via infusion device.
c. can cause nausea, and should not be given in an empty stomach
D. You need to administer via IV Push, IM or SubQ.

A

b. Diluted and administered via infusion device.

47
Q

A patient who is taking potassium through oral suddenly experience gastrointestinal bleeding. As a nurse, what will be your priority action?

a. Discontinue the medication.
b. Do nothing because it just a normal side effect and will gradually loss.
c. Assess the patient abdomen.
d. Both A and C

A

a. Discontinue the medication.

48
Q

A condition that can occur due to methods of blood specimen collection?

A

PSEUDOHYPERKALEMIA

49
Q

What will be your management for pseudohyperkalemia?

a. Administer thiazide
b. Redraw specimen and evaluate
c. Discontinue IV potassium
d. Give kayexalate

A

b. Redraw specimen and evaluate

Rationale: Pseudohyperkalemia is a condition that can occur due to methods of blood specimen collection. Increase potassium levels without symptoms.
