1. Explain how the following can affect fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
A. Age
B. Acute Illness
C. Heart Failure
D. Gastrointestinal Disturbances
E. Diuretics
1. Explain how the following can affect fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance.
A. Age
Discription:-
Infants and children have greater water needs and are more vulnerable to fluid volume alterations; fever in children creates an increase in the rate of insensible water loss; adolescents have increased metabolic processes; older adults have decreased thirst sensation that often causes electrolyte imbalances.
Please do rate and liked me.........

1) What may be the medical treatments for the patient to correct either their fluid and/or electrolyte disturbances? Are there any medications that the patient can be on that can disturb their fluid and electrolyte balance? Which ones and how so? How can you see if a fluid or electrolyteimbalance was corrected? What is the nurses’ roles in correcting the fluid/acid base disturbances? What is the definition of dehydration with respect to fluid and electrolytes? If the patient is dehydrated...
1. Describe the location and functions of body fluids, including the factors that affect variations in fluid compartments. 2. Describe the functions, regulation, sources, and losses of the main electrolytes of the body. 3. Explain the principles of osmosis, diffusion, active transport, and filtration. 4. Describe how thirst and the organs of homeostasis (kidneys, heart and blood vessels, lungs, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, parathyroid glands) function to maintain fluid homeostasis. 5.Describe the role of buffer systems and respiratory and renal...
