would guess a fluid volume deficit. Dark amber urine‚ dry mucus membranes‚ poor skin turgor‚ and labs all point in that direction. Although the patient’s output seems to be adequate‚ everything else points towards dehydration. It also seems like the patient has a fluid/electrolyte imbalance which may be putting the water in the wrong departments‚ or an infection (as reflected in pt. vital signs). So even though he is receiving IV fluids‚ it’s not reflecting on his physical assessment and labs. 2.)

This disease on the other hand is considered a rare complication‚ in which the patient continuously vomits and expresses a drastic change in metabolic state‚ weight loss‚ and severed fluid electrolyte imbalance. Morning sickness usually does not cause dehydration or nutrition imbalance and is seen all throughout the pregnancy‚ where as hypermesis is only seen between the 4th and 10th week of pregnancy.

1. Know functions of urinary system. The Primary Functions of the Urinary System include: 1. Excretion – removal of organic wastes from body fluids 2. Elimination – discharge of waste products 3. Homeostatic regulation – of blood plasma volume and solute concentration • Kidneys are major excretory organs o Like a city’s water treatment plant! • Urinary bladder is the temporary storage reservoir for urine

This experiment was designed to study the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate. Studying the effect of exercise on skin temperature and heart rate yields understanding of how homeostasis is achieved in humans. This knowledge creates opportunity to discover more effective ways to return the human body to optimal functioning‚ rather than a reliance on natural processes. This experiment measured the change in skin temperature and heart rate of a chosen subject for four two-minute intervals

excretion‚ which keeps the body’s water content constant. Dehydration- loss of water. Water intoxication- a dangerous dilution of the body’s fluids resulting from excessive ingestion of plain water. Symptoms are headache‚ muscular weakness‚ lack of concentration‚ poor memory‚ and loss of appetite. Water losses from the body necessitate intake equal to output to maintain balance. The brain and kidneys regulate water excretion. Dehydration and water intoxication can have a serious consequences.
