Describe medication and dietary mechanisms that promote fluid excretion.
Loop diuretics, like furosemide, inhibit the ability of the kidneys to reabsorb sodium in the ascending loop in the nephron, leading to the excretion of water in the urine i.e. the promotion of fluid excretion. Drinking; water i.e. fluids and jiuces will lead to increased fluid excretion due to the inhibition of the ADH.
Describe medication and dietary mechanisms that promote fluid excretion.
26. Which patients would be candidates for fluid restriction therapy and what other diet restrictions would be implemented to control fluid intake? 27. Which patients would be candidates for therapy to promote excretion? What type of therapy would be used and what medications can be administered to promote urinary excretion? 28. How is protein intake involved in fluid balance? 29. How would you monitor a patient on fluid balance therapy (whether fluid restriction or to promote excretion)? Give five assessment...
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...
PL In the fluid regulation cycle, hypovolemia will lead to Increased water and sodium excretion Increased water and sodium absorption Decreased water and sodium absorption No changes in water and sodium absorption
Some plants have mechanisms that promote the dispersal of seeds, and some have mechanisms that minimize dispersal. Name some of the mechanisms associated with each (maximized vs. minimized dispersal). Under what circumstances would you expect selection to favor increasing dispersal, and when would it favor minimizing it?
