Q

What is D5W used for?

A
  1. Fluid loss & dehydration
  2. Hypernatremia
  3. Cardiac or renal patients
    A. Monitor closely for fluid overload
    B. Monitor glucose
20
Q

Define hypotonic solution

A
  1. Lower solute concentration than another solution
  2. If cell is placed in hypotonic solution, water diffuses into cell until equilibrium is reached
  3. Cell expands as water diffuses through membrane
21

A
  1. ½ Normal Saline (0.45% NS)
  2. D5W
  3. 0.25% NS
  4. D5 ½NS
  5. D5 ¼NS
22
Q

What are hypotonic solutions used for?

A
  1. Fluid maintenance

2. Hypertonic (hypernatremic) dehydration

23
Q

When are hypotonic solutions contraindicated?

A
  1. Cerebral edema
  2. Trauma
  3. Burns
24
Q

Define hypertonic solutions

A
  1. Solution w/ a higher solute concentration than another solution
  2. Draws water out of cells & into ECF
  3. Cells shrink, extracellular volume increases
25
Q

What are hypertonic solutions?

A
  1. D5 in ½ Normal Saline (D5 0.45% NS)
  2. D5 in Normal Saline (D5 0.9% NS)
  3. 3% NS
  4. 5% NS
  5. D5 LR
26
Q
