A decreased amount of fluid in the body affecting physiological functions.

An increased amount of fluid in the body possibly leading to hypertension.

A disturbance in the level of electrolytes in the body, affecting various functions.

Maintenance of a constant internal environment in the body despite external changes.

Regulate fluid and electrolyte balance by filtering blood and excreting waste.

Hormone that regulates water balance by controlling urine concentration.

Circulates blood to maintain pressure for urine formation in the kidneys.

Regulates fluid and electrolyte balance through the secretion of ADH.

Key factors to evaluate fluid status: BP, HR, RR, etc.

A format for structuring nursing diagnoses: Problem, Etiology, Symptoms.

Nurse's teamwork with providers to select proper IV solutions.

Age-related factors affecting assessment reliability in older adults.

Normal urine output is a minimum of 1 mL/kg/hr.

Causes include renal failure, heart failure, too much sodium, and increased cortisol.

Look for altered LOC, crackles, JVD, edema, and nausea.

A common diagnosis for excessive fluid is Fluid Volume Deficit.

Common loop diuretics include Furosemide and Bumetanide.

Movement of fluid from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Measure of solute concentration in a solution, expressed in milliosmoles per kg of solvent.

The ability of a solute to cause water movement between body compartments.

Measurement of fluid expelled by the body. Output should exceed intake.

Blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate fall within standard limits.

Indications of health include decreased edema, clear lungs, stable mental status, and weight loss.

Monitoring serum electrolytes and ABGs to detect imbalances.

Monitor for signs of hypokalemia and adverse effects of medications.

Sodium levels (135-145 mEq/L) can indicate fluid balance issues.

Low sodium levels leading to potential fluid imbalance and symptoms of FVD.

High sodium levels indicating fluid retention risks, often an imbalance with water.

Cl- helps maintain fluid balance and acid-base balance alongside Na+.

Condition with low chloride levels, can result from various factors like electrolyte imbalances.

Condition with high chloride levels, associated with respiratory and metabolic conditions.

K+ is predominantly intracellular, critical for neuromuscular and cardiac function.

Condition characterized by low potassium levels in the blood, affecting cardiac output.

Condition with high potassium levels that can cause life-threatening complications.

Mechanism that helps maintain K+ inside cells and Na+ outside, crucial for cellular function.

Monitor signs, check lab values, and continuous cardiac monitoring for potassium imbalances.
