Q

what are 4 reasons why water is very important to the body?

A

cellular metabolism, blood volume, body temperature regulation, solute transport

25
Q

why are older adults more prone to fluid deficits?

A

because they have a diminished thirst reflex and their kidneys do not function as effectively.

26
Q

why are infants at risk for fluid deficit?

A

because they take in and excrete a large proportion of their total body water each day

27
Q

hypovolemia - when does it occur

A

loss of fluid from the body resulting in decreased blood volume
Occurs when the pt is hemorrhaging or when fluids from other parts of the body are lost.

28
Q

what is “third spacing” and what are some examples

A

this process is when fluid from the intravascular space moves into the interstitial fluid space. EX: burns, liver cirrhosis, and extensive trauma

29
Q

what is the most common result of fluid excess

A

hypovolemia

30
Q

what are some conditions that can cause excessive fluid intake?

A

poorly controlled IV therapy, excessive irrigation of wounds or body cavities, excessive ingestion of water.

31
Q

what are some conditions that can result in inadequate excretion of fluid?

A

renal (kidney) failure, heart failure, and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone.

32
Q

what are the vital sign changes of people with fluid excess? and some signs and symptoms.

A

blood pressure is elevated, pulse is bounding, and respirations are increased and shallow. Neck veins may become distended, and pitting edema in the feet and legs may be present. Skin is pale and cool.

33
Q

what are the vital sign changes of people with dehydration? and some signs and symptoms

A

poor skin turgor, increased temperature(temp may not appear elevated in elderly pole because their temp is already lower) Urine output decreases and urine becomes more concentrated, weight loss

34
Q

what results from acute fluid excess

A

congestive heart failure (as the fluid builds up in the heart, the heart is not able to properly function as a pump)

35
Q

what is the adequate intake (AI) of sodium in
adults through age 49
those ages 50-70
those ages 71 and older

A
  1. 5 g daily
  2. 3 g daily
  3. 2 g daily
36
Q

what determines whether a fluid is an acid or a base?

A

hydrogen

37
Q

when do the cells of the body function best?

A

when the body fluids and electrolytes are within a very narrow range

38
Q

? are formed as end products of glucose, fat, and protein metabolism. These are called fixed ? because they do not change once they are formed

A

acids

39
Q

what are the strength of acids and bases measured by

A

the pH

40
Q

0 - 6.99 =

7.01 - 14 =

A

acid

base, aka alkaline

41
Q

what pH range is usually fatal

A

6.9 - 7.8

42
Q

cellular buffers
Examples
act as..

A
  • 1st attempt to return pH to normal
  • Ex: proteins, hemoglobin, bicarbonate, phosphates,
  • act as a type of sponge to “soak up” extra hydrogen ions if to many(acidic) or release ions if there are not enough (to alkaline)
43
Q

The lungs

A
  • 2nd line of defense to return pH to normal
  • (When blood is to acidic Ph decreased) lungs “blow off” additional carbon diode through rapid deep breathing to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide
  • when blood is too alkaline ph is increased) the lungs try to conserve carbon dioxide through shallow respirations
44
Q

The kidneys

A
  • slowest to respond to changes in serum pH - 24-48 hours
  • regulating amount of bicarbonate(base)
  • reabsorb additional bicarbonate rather than excreting it to help neutralize the acid
45
Q

Normal pH, Pco2, and HCO3- values

A

pH - 7.35 - 7.45
Pco2 - 32 - 45mm Hg
PCO3- - 20-26 mEq/L

46
Q

Respiratory acidosis

A

pH - less than 7.35
Pco2 - greater than 45mm Hg
PCO3- - normal

47
Q

Respiratory alkalosis

A

pH - Greater than 7.45
Pco2 - Less than 32 (35 DeWitt) mm Hg
PCO3- - Normal

48
Q

Metabolic acidosis

A

pH - Less than 7.35
Pco2 - normal
PCO3- - Less than 20 mEq/L

49
Q

Metabolic alkalosis

A

pH - Greater than 7.45
Pco2 - normal
PCO3- - Greater than 26 mEq/L

50
Q

when the serum pH level falls below 7.35 the pt has

A

acidosis because the blood becomes more acidic than normal

51
Q

Too much acid or too little base in the body causes

A

acidosis

52
Q

when the serum pH level increases about 7.45 the pt has

A

alkalosis because the blood becomes more alkaline or basic.

53
Q

is caused by too little acid in the body or too much base

A

alkalosis

54
Q

what is caused by hypoventilation usually as a result of an acute flare up of chronic respiratory disease, drugs, or neurologic problems that depress breathing

A

acute respiratory acidosis

55
Q

what are some signs and symptoms of respiratory acidosis

A

involve the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. mental status is altered, resulting in confusion, lethargy to stupor and coma. respirations become more depressed and shallow

56
Q

results from to much acid in the body or too little bicarbonate in the body

A

metabolic acidosis

57
Q

what are the two most common causes of metabolic acidosis resulting from increased fixed acids

A

diabetes mellitus and end stage renal failure

58
Q

what pts are at high risk for experiencing metabolic acidosis

A

pts who experience severe diarrhea or prolonged intestinal suctions as a result of bicarbonate (base) lose
