The balance of body fluids' volume, concentration, composition, and acidity.

Fluid located inside cells, essential for cellular function.

Fluid outside of cells, including blood, lymph, and interstitial fluid.

Electrolytes and nutrients dissolved in body fluids.

The fluid in the body that dissolves solutes.

Movement of solute particles from high to low concentration across a membrane.

Movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

Balance maintained by the amount of fluid consumed versus excreted by the body.

The least amount of urine (400-600 mL) necessary to excrete waste products daily.

A blood test measuring key electrolytes, glucose, and kidney function.

A comprehensive blood test that includes BMP plus additional markers for liver function and more.

Balance of potassium intake and excretion maintained by the kidneys.

Factors leading to dehydration include fluid loss, inadequate intake, and certain medications.

A nursing diagnosis indicating insufficient fluid intake or retention in the body.

A condition caused by significant dehydration leading to decreased blood volume.

Tracking changes in weight to assess fluid gains or losses in the patient.

Narrowing of blood vessels to redirect blood flow during dehydration.

Water loss from skin, lungs, and stool, averaging 500-1000 mL/day.

Hormone secreted when Na+ levels are low, triggers kidney reabsorption of sodium and water.

Hormone released when blood osmolarity increases, promotes water retention.

Hormones secreted by the heart to reduce blood volume by increasing sodium and water excretion.

System maintaining blood volume and pressure for adequate organ perfusion.

Narrow normal ranges of electrolyte concentrations critical for health; small changes can be serious.

Older adults, patients with kidney disease, and generally ill individuals are at higher risk.

Blood tests are conducted to measure the concentrations of electrolytes in the body.

Increased heart rate attempting to maintain blood pressure during low blood volume.

Decreased blood pressure with changes in body position, causing dizziness.

Increased breathing rate to compensate for low perfusion and oxygen intake.

Insufficient oxygen in the tissues.

How well skin returns to normal after being pinched; indicates hydration status.

Measurement indicating urine concentration; higher values suggest dehydration.

Excessive body fluid causing imbalance; hypervolemia.

Physical signs indicating fluid imbalance; weight gain and lab results show hemodilution.

Medications aimed to restore fluid balance by addressing the cause of dehydration.

Prioritize monitoring vital signs and assessing patient's stability to prevent falls.

A condition of persistently elevated blood pressure, over 130/80 mmHg.

Swelling in tissues that leaves an indentation when pressed.

Difficult or labored breathing, often feeling short of breath.

Medications that help remove excess fluid from the body via increased urine output.

Dietary changes including fluid and sodium restrictions to manage fluid overload.

Regularly assessing a patient for signs of excess fluid accumulation in the body.
