A decrease in the serum sodium level is typically followed , - ANSWER--
by a decrease in serum osmolality (example <270 mOsm/L)
metabolic acidosis results in hyperkalemia as H ions are shifted into the
cell - ANSWER--to raise the pH and potassium leaves the cell and enters
the bloodstream
Catecholamines are released from - ANSWER--adrenal medulla
steroid hormones (cortisol and aldosterone) are released from -
ANSWER--adrenal cortex
are exchanged for potassium ions during alkalosis or acidosis -
ANSWER--are exchanged for potassium ions during alkalosis or acidosis
Nerve route injury could lead to - ANSWER--allodynia (pain that is
associated with a nonnoxious stimulus)

Calcium helps to regulate muscle contraction and relaxation - ANSWER-
-helps to regulate muscle contraction and relaxation
hypercalcemia - ANSWER--contributes to muscle weakness and coma
hypocalcemia - ANSWER--contributes to muscle irritability and tetany
Magnesium - ANSWER--helps with carbohydrate and protein
metabolism, affects neuromuscular function and produces vasodilation
Hypokalemia - ANSWER--lowers the resting membrane potential and
makes cells less irritable which could result in an ileus.
Hyperkalemia - ANSWER--may cause diarrhea, irritability, muscle
weakness and EKG changes
Hyperkalemia - ANSWER--tall tented T waves, absent p waves,
prolonged PR interval and QRS duration
Hypokalemia - ANSWER--may cause muscle weakness, EKG changes
(inverted T waves and ST depression), a weak irregular pulse,

Hypokalemia - ANSWER--paralytic ileus, tachydysrhythmias (premature
ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia), constipation and u
waves
hypernatremia - ANSWER--thirst, dry mucous membranes, lethargy,
restlessness, tachycardia and
hypertension
hypocalcemia - ANSWER--tetany, muscle twitching, bronchospasms,
laryngeal spasms, seizures and hyperirritability
A classic sign for low magnesium is - ANSWER--tetany (like
hypocalcemia)
Clinical manifestations of hyponatremia consist of - ANSWER--
headaches, seizures, lethargy, tachycardia, decrease in blood pressure,
thready pulse, hyperactive bowel sounds and abdominal cramp
Hyponatremia - ANSWER--slows the depolarization of the cell
membrane
Hyponatremia - ANSWER--shifts fluid from the extracellular to the
intracellular compartment
