T2: Ch. 28-Balance and Imbalance of Body Fluids Flashcards
What type of dehydration: occurs in conditons in which electrolyte and water deficits are present in approx. balanced proprotions
Isotonic contions
What type of dehydration: The ELECTROLYTE deficits exceeds the water deficits
HYPOtonic
In HYPOtonic dehydration, what are the plasma sodium concentrations?
Less than 130
What type of dehydration: WATER loss in excess of electrolyte loss
HYPERTONIC
In hypertonic dehydration, it is usually caused by a proportionately larger loss of ____ or larger intake of _____
Larger LOSS of water or larger INTAKE of electrolytes
