Analysis Paper: Fluid Volume Deficit “Fluid volume is a term that describes the balancing of input and output of fluid in the body” (Welch 2010). This balance can be affected by many factors: inadequate intake‚ shock‚ vomiting‚ diarrhea‚ or too much output. It can also be caused by third spacing. Fluid volume balance is very important to monitor patients because it can affect every body system and can easily be altered. Fluid volume deficit is more commonly referred to as dehydration.

First‚ fluids are absorbed through the gut and into the bloodstream faster when their permeability closely matches that of body fluids such as blood. Sports drinks contain dissolved minerals (sodium‚ etc.) and carbohydrates‚ whereas water doesn’t‚ so water doesn’t reach the bloodstream as quickly. Sodium and other nutrients also play important roles in regulating fluid balance in the body. In other words‚ they help determine how much

interstitial fluid‚ and intracellular fluid are identical‚ but the quantity of each substance varies among the compartments. The most striking differences are the low protein content in interstitial fluid compared with intracellular fluid and plasma and the fact that sodium and chloride ions are largely extracellular‚ whereas most of the potassium ions (approximately 90%) are intracellular. This unequal distribution of ions results in a voltage difference across cell membranes. Extracellular fluid can be

Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalance Paper Julia Peterson University of Akron Introduction Homeostasis of fluid and electrolyte balance is important for the body to be able to function. The nursing student will cover the risk‚ pathology‚ and signs and symptoms for both fluid deficit and hypokalemia. The nursing student will also apply these findings to the patient specific information from the clinical day February 8‚ 2011. This will give her the ability to formulate four different nursing diagnosis

describing the differences between intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid in the first observation is completely obvious. When reading the words intracellular and extracellular it can be seen that one is the interior of the cell and the other is the exterior of the cell. Intracellular fluid is restricted to the interior of the cell‚ and the cell membrane is the borderline of cytosol or cytoplasmic matrix. The compartments of the intracellular fluid are very important to know‚ as it contains mostly
