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
