Maintenance of homeostasis:
Requires fluid and electrolyte balance within a vary small range in a healthy body
Diseases and treatment may alter fluid and electrolyte balance
Nursing role:
Anticipate the potential for alterations in fluid and electrolyte balance
Recognize the signs and symptoms of imbalances
Intervene with appropriate actions
Evaluate interventions
Adults: 1500 mL/day of fluid intake

Q
Movement of body fluids
A

Diffusion: solutes move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration until the concentration is equal in both areas
Filtration: movement of fluids through capillaries resulting from blood pushing against the walls of the capillary. Hydrostatic pressure forces fluids and solutes through capillary wall
Active transport: energy from ATP moves solutes from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. i.e. sodium-potassium pump

Deficiencies are common: iron, calcium, Vit B12, fat soluble vit
Risk for dumping syndrome
116
Gastric by pass
| Biliopancreatic bypass with duodenal switch
More complex procedure and higher risk of nutritional deficiencies
Performed in 2 stages, sleeve created during first stage. Duodenum and jejunum are bypassed by connecting ileum to stomach pouch
Restricts nutrient intake and absorption for rapid weight loss
Deficiencies are common: iron, calcium, Vit B12, fatty soluble vit
117
Gastric bypass
| Vertical sleeve gastrectomy
Only the first stage of procedure (sleeve only), becoming more popular
Restricts intake, slows digestions
