In this case‚ the patient consumed an “excessive intake of hypotonic solution‚ such as water” (Treas & Wilkinson‚ 2014‚ p. 1391). As the RN‚ I would check for pitting edema because the patient has excessive fluid in her system; Have vital signs taken every four hours to see if the orthostatic hypotension is getting worse or better; measure

Lactated Ringer’s Solution Lactated Ringer’s classified as an isotonic or crystalloid solution‚ has similar osmolarity to body fluids‚ meaning that it maintains fluid volumes in balance between the space inside and outside the blood vessels. Lactated Ringer’s contains electrolytes‚ substances necessary for cells to function. It’s intended for intravenous administration‚ but if a suitable vein cannot be found it can be given orally which has an unpleasant taste. It is made up of NaCl (sodium chloride)

False Electrolytes determine most of the chemical and physical reactions of the body. True Solutes‚ regardless of size‚ are able to move freely between compartments because water carries them along the osmotic gradients.False The thirst center in the brain is located in the hypothalamus.True Dehydration can be caused by endocrine disturbances

In addition‚ the abdominal contents may be irritated from prolonged exposure to amniotic fluid in utero causing tissue compromise. (29; 40;

of excess glucose‚ the kidneys excrete the glucose along with water and electrolytes (esp. sodium and potassium). The fatty acids are converted into ketone bodies by the liver. Ketone bodies are acidic; their accumulation in the circulation due to lack of insulin leads to metabolic acidosis. 2. What are the commonly seen blood glucose levels? 300-800 mg/dL but some can get as high as 1‚000 mg/dL 3. What fluid and electrolyte disturbances commonly occur and why? Soidum and potassium due to the amount

The acidity and alkalinity of a solution depends on its hydrogen ion (H+) Concentration. An increase in H+ concentration leads to acidity ‚a decreased leads to alkalinity . acids are produced by the body daily.H+ concentration of body fluid is small(0.0004meq/l).H+ ion concentration is usually expressed as a negative logarithm(symbolized as pH) rather than in milliequivalents. The use of the negative logarithm means that the lower the pH ‚the higher the H+ concentration. In contrast to

controls the volume of fluid in the body and helps maintain the acid-base level. About 40% of the body’s sodium is contained in bone‚ some is found within other organs and cells and the remaining 55% is in blood plasma and extracellular fluids. Sodium is important in proper nerve conduction‚ in aiding the passage of various nutrients into cells‚ and in the maintenance of blood pressure. Chloride ions also help to maintain proper blood volume‚ blood pressure‚ and pH of body fluids. Chloride is the major
