Patho Unit 8 Flashcards
type of water loss that we are unaware of, including breathing and perspiration (can’t be measured)
insensible water loss
water losses that can be measured, including urine and feces
sensible water loss
water balance that is in homeostasis
equal water balance
type of serum or solution that has too much solute (stuff that is dissolved in the water) or too little water, too concentrated
HYPERTONIC serum
type of serum or solution that is too dilute, has too little solute and/or too much water
HYPOTONIC serum
type of fluid that keeps the most volume in the intervascular space
hypertonic
type of fluid that has the same osmolarity as blood and is used for intravascular volume replacement
isotonic
type of water solution with various forms of electrolyte solute (.9 normal saline, .45 hypotonic saline, 7.5 hypertonic saline)
crystalloid
water solution with molecules that have osmotic activity that remain in the vascular compartment
colloid
universal donor blood for emergencies
O Rh negative
type of therapy that takes care of normal daily fluid losses
maintenance therapy
type of therapy that replaces maintenance PLUS replaces losses due to dehydration
deficit (dehydration) therapy
type of therapy for replacement of specific fluid loss due to disease states (vomiting, burns, shock)
supplemental fluid therapy
normal sodium concentration
140 mEq/liter
nausea, lethargy, headache, seizure, and coma are clinical presentation of what?
hyponatremia
