Question

Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base
Imbalances (Ch. 17)
• Create a table to identify the
clinical manifestations and lab
values of the following:
• Sodium imbalances
• Potassium imbalances
• Calcium imbalances
• Magnesium imbalances

Answer 1

Normal value of the following electrolytes with their clinical manifestations are tabulated as follow:-

Sodium -135 -145 mEq/L - Hyponatremia if level of sodium is below normal And hypernatremia if level of sodium is above normal.

Potassium - 3.5- 5.0mEq/L - Hyperkalemia if level of blood potassium is above normal level .HHypokalemia if blood potassium levels is below normal

Calcium -4.3 to 5.3 mEq/L - Hypercalcemia if calcium level is above normal and if calcium level is below normal causes hypocalcemia.

Magnesium-1.5-2.5 mEq/L - Hypomagnesemia if blood magnesium level is above normal and hypermagnesemia if blood magnesium level above normal
