causes of fluid overload-5
respiratory acidosis cause
hypoventilation
metabolic acidosis cause-4
DKA, lactic acid, kidney failure, diarrhea
alkalosis electrolyte-2
hypokalemia and hypocalcemia
hypocalcemia signs-5
Ca below 9
-muscle spasm, tetany, C&T signs, QT/ST prolongation
hypocalcemia treatment-5
seizure precautions, ECG
-calcium gluconate, vit D
treat hypomagnesia
hypokalemia signs-6
less than 3.5
-muscle weakness, arrhythmia, U wave, constipation, hyporeflexia
hypokalemia treatment-2
monitor resp
-IV potassium
acidosis electrolyte
hyperkalemia
hyperkalemia signs-5
more than 5
-abdo cramps, muscle weak, diarrhea, arrhythmias-Tall T
hyperkalemia treatment-3
glucose + insulin, diuretics, kayexolate
phosphate and calcium
inverse relationship- one is high other low
hypercalcemia signs-3
lethargy, constipation, QT short
hypercalcemia treatment-2
calcitonin, lasix
hyponatremia signs-5
N/V, low LOC, confusion, lethargy, seizures
hyponatremia treatment
airway, reduce diuretics
hypernatremia signs-6
change in LOC, thirsty, ortho hypo, dry/flushed skin, twitching, seizures
hypernatremia treatment-3
hypotonic solutions (0.225 or 0.45% NaCl), Na restriction, diuretics
hypomagnesium signs-7
confusion, increase DTR, seizures, cramps, tremors, insomnia, tachycardia
hypomagnesium treatment
magnesium sulfate
hypermagnesium signs-7
flushing, lethargy, muscle weak, decreased DTR, decreased resp, bradycardia, hypotension
hypermagnesium treatment-4
dialysis, IV calcium gluconate, diuretics, avoid antacids w Mg
bicarb abnormal findings
increase- metabolic alkalosis->bicarbonate therapy
decrease- metabolic acidosis, diarrhea, pancreatitis
hypotonic solutions
less than 280 mOsm
