Q

dehydratoin

A

decrease in total body water but na is at a normal level
water is pulled from cells and thirst drive is activated
can cause relative hypernatremia

19
Q

diarrhea

A

isotonic depletioon

20
Q

intense perspiration

A

hypertonic depletion relative increase in na

21
Q

renal na loss

A

hypotonic depletion
decreased ecf
increased icf volume
decrease na (decreased na so the water in increased)

22
Q

normal saline solution

A

isotonic expansion

increase ecf no affect on sodium or icf

23
Q

hypertonic infusion

A

hypertonic expansion
increased icf
decreased ecf
increased icf

24
Q

water intoxication

A

hypotonic expansion
increase icf volume
increase icf volume
relative decrease in Na

25
Q

sequestrian states

A

rapid blood loss or burn and inflammatory exudate

26
Q

volume excess

A

renal water and na retention as well as na retention
renal failure, chf, and nephrotic syndrome
hypersecretion of aldosterone (tumor)

27
Q

decrease plasma volume = _____ hematocrit

A

increased

28
Q

hypertonic plasma on brain

A

cns cells shrink- weakness, irrability, seizures, occurs rapidly then there can be cerebral hemorrhage

29
Q

hypotonic plasma on brain

A

cns cells swell- cerebral edema, ha/maliase/vomiting seizures and coma if it progresses

30
Q

causes of hyponatremia

A
result of fluid loss 
not enough intake
usually relative 
can be due to renal deficits 
decreased aldosterone 
matched by water loss to produce isotonic ECF
31
Q

hypernatremia

A

excess na
arises when water loss> na loss
condition is relative
true condition is rare and can result from NaCl excess administration

32
Q

potassium and sodium

A

potassium is really high in cells and low in the blood

sodium is really high in the blood and low in the cell

33
Q

potassium affects

A

neuromuscular activity

34
Q

loss of potassium and aldosterone

A

keeps an na so it has to excrete a potassium

35
Q

hypokalemia

A

result of total body deficit
shift of k from ECF to ICF (d/t insulin, glucose, and many drugs, alkalosis (shifts k into cells))
inadequate dietary intake- elderly, gi disturbances, nausea

36
Q

hypokalemia

A
result of 
vomiting 
heavy perspiration 
chronic diarrhea 
gi fistula/restriction 
kidney tubular defect 
hypersecretion of aldosterone 
diuretics
improper administration of iv fluids
37
Q

signs and symptoms of hypokalemia

A

weakness, muscle twitches, depresses reflexes
loss of neuromuscular tone
vomiting

38
Q

ekg changes with hypokalemia

A

twave- hearts attempt to compensate d/t decreased action potentail

39
Q

hyperkalemia

A

excess k can be life threatening due to:
aldosterone deficiency
K retention
renal failure
excessive IV fluids
excessive trauma
crushing injuries (cells break down and release k)

40
Q

blood transfusions and hyperkalemia

A

hemolytic event can release stored k in the rbcs

41
Q

ekg changes with hyperkalemia

A

st segment depressed
t wave increases
p wave lost

42
Q

calcium concentration

A

more common in ECF rather than ICF

43
Q

PTH

A

increase GI absorption and renal retention of Ca
PTH mobilizes ca from bone
calcitonin, promotes Ca excretion to prevent excess

44
Q

hypercalcemia

A
result of hyper parathyroidis or hypothyroid
ca retention
renal disease 
excessive vit d intake 
tumors that secrete pth 
hypophospatemia 
Ca retention liked to PO excretion
45
Q

s/s of hypercalcemia

A

nausea/cramping/diarrhea (increased GI motility), nephrolithiasis

46
Q

causes of hypocalcemia

A

reduced PTH
peritoneal inflammation
excessive calcitonin
inadequate calcium absorption
