[NURS 201 Pathophysiology Study Guide] ================================================== Fluid and Electrolytes Balance ------------------------------ ### **[Chapter 7]**: Fluid Imbalance (9 questions) #### Body Fluid Balance, Movement - Describe fluid compartments and "normal" balance of each (ICF, ECF, ISF) - Describe mechanisms for fluid balance/movement between compartments (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated transport, active transport) - Describe fluid regulation via Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) #### #### Impact of Fluid & Electrolytes on Homeostasis - How does fluid and electrolyte balance impact homeostasis (normal body function)? - Why is maintaining balanced fluid and electrolytes essential to maintaining homeostasis? #### #### Fluid Imbalance: Edema - Description, characteristics of edema; differences between pitting edema, dependent edema, non-pitting edema - Etiology/causes of edema - Signs, symptoms, patient assessment/manifestations for edema - Nursing implications (i.e. assessment considerations) - Patient implications (i.e. complications) #### #### Fluid Imbalance: Overhydration (Fluid Overload) - Description, characteristics of fluid volume overload (isotonic) - Etiology/causes of isotonic FVE - Signs, symptoms, patient assessment for fluid volume overload - Patient implications (i.e. complications) focus on CV, neuro, renal, skin, general - SIADH: Assessment (s/s) particularly related to fluid excess & hyponatremia #### #### Fluid Imbalance: Dehydration - Description, characteristics of fluid volume deficit (dehydration, hypovolemia) - Etiology/causes of dehydration - Signs, symptoms, patient assessment/manifestations for dehydration - Patient implications (i.e. complications) focus on CV, neuro, renal, skin, general - DI: Assessment (s/s) particularly related to dehydration and hypernatremia ### ### **[Chapter 7]**: Electrolyte Imbalance (6 questions) #### Hypernatremia, Hyponatremia: - Role of sodium, KNOW NORMAL SODIUM VALUES - Description, characteristics of hyponatremia, hypernatremia - Etiology/causes of hyponatremia, hypernatremia - Hypervolemic hyponatremia: identify patients at risk - Hypovolemic hypernatremia: identify patients at risk - Signs, symptoms, patient assessment/manifestations for hyponatremia, hypernatremia - Assessment of hypervolemic hyponatremia - Assessment of hypovolemic hypernatremia - Patient implications (i.e. complications) focus on neuro - Nursing implications: assessment considerations, fluid & sodium relationship #### Hyperkalemia, Hypokalemia: - Role of potassium, KNOW NORMAL POTASSIUM VALUES - Description, characteristics of hypokalemia, hyperkalemia - Etiology/causes of hypokalemia, hyperkalemia: identify at risk patients - Signs, symptoms, patient assessment/manifestations for hypokalemia, hyperkalemia - Patient implications (i.e. complications) focus on CV, cardiac conduction
