Q

where is aldosterone found?

what is its normal action?

A

adrenal gland (on top of the kidneys)

Q

What is third spacing?

when can this happen?

A

when the fluid is in a space that does you NO good. which can happen with burns and ascites

22
Q

with ascites, what would you key into?

A

measure abdominal girth daily

fluid in the peritoneal cavity- think cirrhosis

23
Q

replace volume:
mild deficit, ____
severe deficit ____

A

mild- PO fluid

severe- IV fluid

24
Q

what causes fluid volume excess in heart failure?

A

heart is WEAK, cardiac output goes DOWN, DECREASED kidney perfusion, urinary output goes DOWN.

The volume stays in the VASCULAR SPACE.

25
Q

what are 3 things with alot of sodium that could cause fluid volumes excess?

A
  1. effervescent sodium medications (alka seltzer)
  2. canned/processed foods
  3. IVF with sodium
26
Q

Aldosterone is a ______!!

A

STEROID& mineralcorticoid

27
Q

Normal CVP value?

A

2-6mmHG

28
Q

What are the s/s of fluid volume excess?

A
  • distended neck veins/peripheral veins (veins are FULL)
  • peripheral edema/ third space (veins cant hold anymore so they start to LEAK
  • CVP goes UP (more volume, more pressure)
  • lung sounds; WET
  • polyuria (kidneys are trying to help you diurese)
  • pulse UP (your heart only want the fluid to go forward!) IF the fluid cant go forward, its going to go backwards into the lungs. can lead to heart failure, then pulmonary edema.
  • BP UP
  • weight UP
29
Q

what causes hypovolemia?

A

Loss of fluid anywhere
third spacing
diseases with polyuria (polyuria-oliguria-anuria)

30
Q

s/s of hypovolemia?

A
  • weight goes DOWN
  • decreased skin turgor
  • dry mucous membranes
  • decreased urine output (kidneys either arent being perfused or they are trying to hold on to fluid. (compensate))
  • BP DOWN
  • pulse UP (heart is trying to pump what little fluid it has)
  • respirations UP
  • CVP DOWN
  • peripheral veins/ neck veins VASOCONSTRICT
  • cool extremities
  • urine specfic gravity UP
31
Q

Define isotonic solution

A

“balance solution”
goes into VASCULAR SPACE and stays there
increases BP

32
Q

example for isotonic solution

A

NS
LR
D5W
D51/4NS

33
Q

the uses for isotonic solution?

A

the client that has lost fluids through nausea, vomiting, burns, sweating and trauma.

34
Q

______ is the basic solution when administering blood

A

NORMAL SALINE

35
Q

DO NOT use isotonic solution in clients with ?

A

hypertension
cardiac disease
renal failure
(stays in vascular so causes high bp)

36
Q

isotonic solutions can cause ?

A

FVE, HTN, hypernatremia ( only when the solution contains sodium)

37
Q

define hypotonic solution

A

goes into VASCULAR SPACE and then SHIFTS out into the cells to replace cellular fluid

38
Q

hypotonic solution rehydrate and DO NOT CAUSE ____.

A

hypertension

39
Q

Examples of hypotonic solution

A

d2.5w
1/2NS
0.33%NS

40
Q

the uses for hypotonic solution

A

the client who has HTN, renal or cardiac disease and needs fluid replacement bc of nausea, vomiting, burns hemorrhage, etc.

also used for dilution when a client has hypernatremia and for cellular dehydration

41
Q

what should you watch for with hypotonic solution?

A

cellular edema because this fluid is moving out to the cells, which could lead to fluid volume DEFICIT and decrease bp

42
Q

Define hypertonic solutions

A

(packed with particles)

volume expanders that will draw fluid into the vascular space from the cell.

43
Q

examples of hypertonic solutions

A 
D10W
3% NS
5% NS
D5LR
D51/2NS
D5NS
TPN
Albumin
44
Q

the uses of hypertonic solutions

A

the client with hyponatremia or a client who has shifted large amounts of vascular volume to a third space or has severe edema, burn or ascites.

-A hypertonic solution will return the fluid volume to the vascular space.

45
Q

What should you watch for with hypertonic solutions?

A

fluid volume excess. monitor in an ICU setting with frequent monitoring of BP, Pulse, and CVP, especially if they are receiving 3%NS or 5%NS

watch for pulmonary edema

46
Q

stay where I put It

A

Isotonic solutions

47
Q

Enter the vessel

A

hypErtonic solutions

48
Q

gO Out Of the vessel

A

hypOtonic solutions

49
Q

fluid retention think….

A

HEART problems FIRST!!

50
Q

polyuria think…

A

SHOCK
