Term
Water is what % of total body weight?
Definition
60%
Term
List Electrolytes in the ICF
Definition
K, Mg, Phos
Term
List the electrolytes in the ECF
Definition
Na, Cl, HCO3
Term
What makes up the Transcellular fluid volume?
Definition
Salivary glands, CSF, GI tract etc...
Term
AVP is released from____due to a ____ in plasma osmolality.
Definition

poterior pituitary

increase

Term
AVP binds to the ____receptor in the ____of the kidney
Definition

vasopressin V2 receptor

renal tubular epithelial cell

Term
When AVP binds to its receptor in the kidney it causes the insertion of ____ so that water can be reabsorbed into the systemic circulation
Definition
aquaporin-2 (water channel)
Term

List amnt of mEq/L and Osmolality

A. 0.9% NaCl

B. D5W

C. 3% NaCl

D. Ringers Lactate

E. 0.45% NaCl

Definition

A. 154 mEq NaCl   308 mOsm/L

B. 0 mEq NaCl       253 mOsm/L

C. 513 mEq NaCl   1026mOsm/L

D. 130-Na 109-Cl 4-K 3-Ca 28-Lactate 273 mOsm/L

E. 77mEq NaCl     155 mOsm/L

Term
What is the difference between osmoLARity and osmoLALity?
Definition

osmoLARity is the number of particles per L of water (fluid)

osmoLALity is the number of particles per kg of water (weight)

 

 

Term
How do you calculate serum Osmolality?
Definition

= (2 x serum Na) + (Glucose mg/dL)   + BUN mg/dl

                               18                     2.8

Term
When does an osmol gap exist?
Definition
When the measured and calculated osmolality differ by >10mOsm/kg
Term
How would you know if an IV solution can be given peripherally or centrally?
Definition

According to the tonicity

Peripheral max 900mOsm

Term
If a patient was hypotensive which IV fluid would be given and why? NSS or D5W or LR
Definition

NSS of LR would be given because it expands the ECF volume to 19 L whereas D5W is 17L.

See Notes

Term
What are some forms of abnormal fluid loss?
Definition
Fever, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Naso-gastric suctioning, Drains/Ostomies, Hyperventilation, Increased Metabolism
Term
How do you determine maintenance fluid requirements?
Definition

if the persn is >21 kg

1500mL + 20mL/ each kg >20 kg

 

ex. 70 kg person

1500+ (20 x 50)= 2.5L

Term
What factors should be monitored when a patient in receiving fluids?
Definition
hemodynamics, urine output, serum electrolytes, weight, serum/urine osmolarity, specific gravity
