Would you like to build your own game?

It's easy!

Go to the GameBuilder and get started!

Topics of this game:
  • Two thirds of body water & Body fluids within the cell
  • One third of body water, Body fluids outside of the cell membrane & further divided into three parts
  • a lack of both water and electrolytes, causing a decrease in circulating blood volume.
  • Lack of fluid in the body, from insufficient intake or excessive loss
  • Too much fluid in the body from excessive intake or ineffective removal from the body
  • Patients with fluid overload are at risk for; problem in the lungs
  • Emergency; Blood pressure drops & slowing perfusion to tissues of the body.
  • Medications used to improve myocardial perfusion; used with hypovolemic shock
  • heart failure, kidney disease, cirrhosis, Fluid shifts that occur following burns, excess fluids
  • Another term for hypervolemia
  • Dietary restriction, limit this electrolyte with hypervolemia
  • Bed position to maximize patient ventilation with hypervolemia
  • Distributed between intracellular (ICF) and extracellular (ECF) fluid compartments
  • Expected range: 135 to 145 mEq/L
  • Expected range: 9.0 to 10.5 mEq/L
  • Expected range: 3.5 to 5.0 mEq/L
  • Expected range: 1.3 to 2.1 mEq/L
  • Expected range: 98 to 106 mEq/L
  • Expected range: 3.5 to 4.5 mEq/L
  • What flows in the direction of sodium concentration?
  • Water moves from the ECF into the ICF, causing cells to swell. delays and slows the depolarization of membrane
  • Electrolyte imbalance Increases risk of cardiac arrest
  • What organ helps eliminate K+ from the body
  • Excess production of hydrogen ions
