Answer 15

• 4 mL for each kg 1-10
• 2 mL for each kg 11-30
• 1 mL for each kg >30

Question 16

-120 mL/hr

Question 17

How do you calculate Body water Deficit?

Answer 17

0.6x weight (kg)x (pt Na- normal Na)/normal Na

Question 18

What are the isotonic fluids we could give?

Answer 18

• 0.9% NaCl…. Normal saline

- Lacated ringers: contains the cations K and Ca

Question 19

What do we use NS and LR for?

Answer 19

-expand EC fluid volume

Question 20

What do we use just NS for?

Answer 20

• hypovolemia
• peri/post operative fluid management
• shock… any cause
• hemorrhage
• burns

Question 21

What do we use a lactated ringer for?

Answer 21

• vascular expansion

- electrolyte replacement

Question 22

What can NS cause if we aren’t careful?

Answer 22

-hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis

Question 23

What do we have to worry about with LR’s

Answer 23

• calcium can bind to certain drugs and reduce their bioavailability and efficacy
• contraindicatesd as a diluent for blood transfusions**

Question 24

If we want to expand EC fluid volume and add free water, what fluid do we use?

Answer 24

• hypotonic kind
• D5W
• 1/2 of 1/4 NS

Question 25

What cautions should we use with hyptonic IVF's?

Answer 25

- if used for ECFV depletion.... dangerous hyponatremia - so monitor sodium closely** - It could also worsen hypotension, increase edema

Question 26

What is our hypertonic solutions?

Answer 26

- 3% NaCl - D5NS - N5(1/2)NS - D5LR

Question 27

Uses for hypertonic

Answer 27

- 3% NS tx of severely symptomatic yponatremia | - D5NS for head injury patients

Question 28

Cautions with hypertonic IVF's

Answer 28

- frequently monitor sodium and correct SLOWLY**** - fluid overload - Iatrogenic hypernatremia - irritating to veins

Question 29

Isotonic

Answer 29

-stay where I put it

Question 30

Hypotonic

Answer 30

-go Out of the vessel and into cells

Question 31

HyperTonic

Answer 31

- Enter the vessel | - shifts fluid back into circulation

Question 32

What happens with the glucose in all of the "D" solutions?

Answer 32

- gets taken up by cells and does not change the glucose concentration of the pt - but! in a diabetic pt, glucose may not be assimilated into the cells and they can develop hyperglycemia
