How would you recognize if a patient has a fluid and electrolyte inbalance?
How would you recognize if a patient has a fluid and electrolyte inbalance?
As a nurse how will you maintain fluid, electrolyte, acid base imbalance in patient admitted with dehydration and hypotension
what teachings will you provide to the patient to avoid fluid and electrolyte imbalance?
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...
. Complete a plan of care for a patient with an electrolyte imbalance: fluid volume deficit and fluid volume excess; sodium deficit (hyponatremia) and sodium excess (hypernatremia); potassium deficit (hypokalemia) and potassium excess (hyperkalemia
What are appropriate medical and nursing interventions for a patient experiencing fluid and electrolyte imbalance?
3456 Case Study, Chapter 8, Disorders of Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance A nurse has just been assigned to care for three patients: A, B, and C. Selected lab work for each patient is listed below. Patient A Na+ 138 mEq/L K+ 5.1 mEq/L Ca+ 8.9 mg/dL Mg+ 1.3 mg/dL pH 7.40 7.32 PCO2 42 mm Hg PO2 95% 98% HCO3 22 28 Patient B 142 mEq/L 6.1 mEq/L 7.5 mg/dL 0.9 mg/dL 7.42 48 mm Hg 99% 26 Patient...
• Identify the normal values for: extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid, interstitial fluid, intravascular fluid, hydrostatic pressure, oncotic pressure, sodium, potassium, pH, HCO2, PaCO2, PaO2, O2 saturation. • Identify the two major fluid compartments. • Identify the sub-compartments of extracellular fluid. • Explain how to calculate how much fluid as patient has gained or lost based on weight in kilograms. • Identify the signs and symptoms of hypovolemia or fluid deficit. • Identify the signs and symptoms of hypervolemia or fluid...
If a 2 year has fever, vomiting, and diarrhea what type of fluid and electrolyte losses is the child at risk for and what fluids are lost? What other clinical manifestations of fluid and electrolyte imbalances should be monitored?
What if the patient is hypervolemic or hypovolemic? If so, what data supports this? What effect do you see on the patient’s vitals from them being hyper or hypovolemic? What illnesses can put a patient at risk for a fluid and electrolyte disturbance? How so? If the patient has Mg, K, or Ca values outside of normal levels, are there any signs and symptoms such as muscle cramps or twitches or an abnormal EKG that may occur? What may be...
A patient receives 3 liters of an electrolyte fluid containing 234 mg of sodium chloride (NaCl—m.w. 58.5), 125 mg of potassium acetate (C2 H3 KO2 —m.w. 98), and 21 mg of magnesium acetate (C4 H6 MgO4 —m.w. 142) per 100 mL. How many milliequivalents each of Na+, K+, and Mg++ does the patient receive?
