Lesson 17 Flashcards
the major cation in the structure of bones and teeth
calcium
calcium absorption requires the need of _____
vitamin d
the normal calcium level
8.6 mg/dL to 10.4 mg/dL
calcium exists in plasma in three forms
ionized
bound
complex
calcium balance is controlled by
PTH and calcitonin
antagonizes the effect of potassium to the heart
calcium gluconate
this drug enhance the secretion of calcium
diuretics
a calcium binder, to lower calcium levels
plicamycin
abnormally low level of calcium
hypocalcemia
clinical signs of hypocalcemia
Trousseu sign
Chvostek sign
a cation responsible for blood clots
Calcium
a below normal serum magnesium concentration
Hypomagnesemia
the second most abundant intracellular cation
Magnesium
It is coenzyme in metabolism of carbohydrates and protein and is “required for the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins”
Magnesium
It plays a role in maintaining normal calcium and potassium balance
Magnesium
Hypomagnesemia is frequently associated with
Hypocalcemia
Hypokalemia
Hypognesemia is frequently associated with
Hypocalcemia
Hypokalemia
What should be administered to increase the magnesium levels of hypomagnesemia
IV magnesium sulfate
What are the foods that are high in magnesium
Whole grains
Legumes
Fish
Dark green leafy vegetable
Hypomagnesemia or Hypermagnesemia:
HIGH BP
HIGH PULSE
Hypomagnesemia
Hypomagnesemia or Hypermagnesemia:
LOW BP
LOW HR
Hypermagnesemia
This management for hypermagnesemia remove the excess magnesium
Dialysis
Medication for Hypermagnesemia
Calcium Chloride
Furosemide
Medication for Hypomagnesemia
Magnesium sulfate
An magnesium antagonist:
Calcium chloride
the function of this ions are BLOOD CLOTTING, transmission of nerve impulses, myocardial contractions, and muscle contractions
calcium
