FLUID ANE ELECTROLYTE NOTES part 2 Flashcards
No. 1 Causes of HYPERVOLEMIA
heart failure
organ ‘filters’ the fluid; excrete/absorbs electrolytes
kidney
‘’permanent scarring of the liver’’
liver cirrhosis
circulation inside the liver is disrupted
liver cirrhosis
liver cirrhosis is secondary to what hepatitis
B AND C
parameter to ‘assess if the kidney is functioning properly’
BUN / blood urea nitrogen
check the RBC in the blood
hematocrit
what to note in administering furosemide?
hypokalemia
normal value of sodium
135-145 mEq/dL
a hormone that is responsible for fluid retention
cortisol
Adrenal Glands consists of:
mineralocorticoids / aldosterone
androgen
glucocorticoids
SIADH meaning
syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion
this contributes/contraindicated to hyponatremia; a mood stabilizer; used for ADHD
lithium
low potassium
hypokalemia
example of oral potassium supplements
kalium durules
________ is frequently associated with HYPERKALEMIA
cardiac arrest
If acidotic, the blood ph ________
decreases
antagonizes the effect of potassium to the heart; › prevent cardiac arrest
calcium gluconate
the major buffer (neutralize the acidity); a drug alkalinizes the body
sodium bicarbonate
transporter of potassium; it lowers the level of potassium
insulin
bronchodilators; for asthma
beta-2-agonist
what is normal calcium level:
8.6 to 10.4 mg/dL
serum level less than 8.8 mg/dL
hypocalcemia
serum CALCIUM level CONTROLLED by
parathyroid glands
this glands is activated with severe cases of hypocalcemia
parathyroid glands
the ‘destruction of bone tissues’ ‘that promotes bone loss
bone resorption
'’inhibits the reabsorption of calcium’’ in the intestine and kidney
calcitonin
ion that is responsible for blood clots
calcium
a tingling or numb sensation around the mouth and lips
circumoral numbness
carpopedal spasm caused by inflating the blood-pressure cuff to a level above systolic pressure
trousseau sign
twitching of the facial muscles in response to tapping over the area of the facial nerve
chvostek sign
enhances the ‘‘absorption’’ of the calcium
calcium
serum level greater than 10.4 mg/dL
hypercalcemia
hyponatremia: siadh
hypernatremia: _____
diabetes insipidus
primary manifestation of HYPERNATREMIA
thirst
normal value of potassium
3.5-5.0
a vitamin that enhances the absorption of the calcium
vitamin D
