Module 1.2 Flashcards
ECF
ICF
Interstitial
Extracellular fluid (outside of the cell)
Intracellular fluid (inside of the cell)
helps bring oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removes waste
Osmosis
low to the high concentration
Sodium potassium pump
low to high active transport of solutes
Diffusion
high to low concentration
Renal filtration
Active transport
Fluid volume deficit
hypovolemia (cells it exceeds the intake of fluid), loss of fluid in the body, tachycardia, hypoxia, and confusion. Labs CMP, BUN, etc.. Refer to drawing from class
Fluid volume excess
hypervolemia (too much fluid onboard), failure to excrete fluids, HTN, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Labs to check are BNP, CMP, and urine samples. give a diuretic. Pulmonary edema. Refer to drawing
Serum Na+
136- 145 meq/L
Urine specific gravity
1.005-1.030
Hematocrit (ratio of the volume of RBCs to total volume)
normal is 37-52%
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN, breakdown of protein in the liver)
normal 10-20
Creatinine (main lab for kidney function); muscle and protein breakdown
normal males- 0.6-1.2
normal females- 0.5-1.1
IV assessment with IVF
look at slide 17
Hypotonic
net water gain (ex. 0.45% normal saline, decreases ECF, decreased salt = cells swell)
