IV Fluid Balance Assessment 1. According to the reported data‚ my water intake is still short about 100ml/day‚ and the fluid mostly comes from water. In order to prevent the dehydration‚ which might eventually cause coma and death if severe‚ as well as increased burden on kidney and decreased blood electrolyte caused by over-consumption of water‚ the better choices will be juices that are fortified vitamins‚ such as orange juice where usually vitamin A and calcium and some other B-complex vitamins

Lab 7: The Kidney’s Role in Fluid Balance Introduction The renal system performs a vital role in homeostasis. The kidneys’ ability to retain valuable constituents and expel metabolic wastes from the body enables this system to regulate the volume‚ osmolarity‚ and pH of body’s internal fluid environment (Sherwood‚ 2007‚ p. 511). The functional unit of the kidney‚ referred to as the nephron‚ is composed of both tubular components—Bowman’s capsule proximal tubule‚ loop of Henle‚ the distal tubule

The blood plasma is consists of electrolytes. It comprise of both negative and positive charge. The negative charge is made up of chloride‚ bicarbonate and phosphates. The positive charge is made up of calcium‚ sodium‚ potassium and magnesium. This specifies the condition of the body’s acid-base ratio‚ water balance‚ endocrine and renal systems. These indicate the condition of your body’s acid-base ratio‚ endocrine and renal systems‚ water balance and other conditions. There is a fine line between

Electrolyte is a scientific term for salts‚ specifically ions. The term electrolyte means that this ion is electrically-charged and moves to either a negative or positive electrode. Ions that move to the negative which are called cations are positively charged and Ions that move to the positive which are called anions are negatively charged. They can be divided into acids‚ bases‚ and salts‚ because they all give ions when dissolved in water. Electrolytes are present in the human body‚ and the balance

------------------------------------------------- Water and Electrolytes Water constitutes 50-55% of a woman’s body weight and 55-60% of man’s weight. Water gives structure and form to the body‚ helps maintain body temperature‚ and also creates the necessary environment for cell metabolism. There are two compartments of body water‚ extracellular and intracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is water found outside of cells. Making up approximately 20% of total body weight‚ the ECF consists of blood plasma‚ interstitial fluid surrounding the

These solutions can be anything from body fluids‚ to fruits‚ vegetables‚ seawater‚ beverages you name it. Acid and alkaline is measured in pH. It starts as low as zero being very acidic and works its way up to fourteen being the most basic. The pH of our stomach is 2‚ obviously to digest food‚ wine is 3.5‚water is 7(neutral)‚ arterial

Decreased pH in the blood is generally known as acidosis. The body cells continuously respire and release carbon dioxide. The lungs may fail to efficiently expel the CO2. This condition is known as alveolar

Protein Essay- Erin Keegan What are proteins? A polypeptide is a chain of monomers joined up to make a polymer. Proteins are organic polypeptides made up of a chain of amino acid residues- they’re residues because they lose a water molecule. The amino acids (monomers) join up by forming peptide bonds. When two amino acids join together‚ they become a dipeptide. This happens when the carboxyl group of an amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid link up through a condensation reaction (which

and electrolytes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of febrile children with and without seizures. During acute febrile diseases mild disturbances of water and electrolyte balance occur frequently. It has been suggested that changes in electrolyte balance‚ in particular hyponatraemia‚ might predispose a child to convulsions during febrile illness; however‚ the changes of electrolytes in the CSF are not known. We have studied the effects of fever and convulsions on water and electrolyte balance in CSF
