NUR2063 Essentials of Pathophysiology Exam 1
1. Normal range for magnesium
1.8-2.5 mEq/L
2. Normal range for sodium
135-145 mEq/L
3. Normal range for phosphorus
2.5-4.5
4. Normal range for potassium
3.5-5.0 mEq/L
5. Normal range for calcium
4-5 mEq/L
6. Normal range for chloride
98-106
7. Where is phosphorus stored?
Stored in bones and teeth
8. Where is magnesium stored?
Stored in bones and muscles
9. When sodium is out of range, what are important clinical manifestations of it?
Cerebral edema and neurological changes
, 10. What are clinical manifestations of potassium being out of range?
EKG changes
11. What controls calcium levels?
parathyroid hormone and calcitonin
12. What are electrolyte pools?
Bone "reservoir", stored electrolytes in bone marrow. Mostly calcium, phosphorus and
magnesium.
13. What are signs?
changes in a body that can be measured or seen, objective information
14. What is a symptom?
subjective evidence of disease as sensed by the patient
15. What are clinical manifestations of fluid excess?
Bounding pulse and crackles in the lungs
16. What are some causes of fluid deficit?
poor oral intake
GI losses
excess diaphoresis
hemorrhage
diabetes mellitus (high glucose levels-> high water loss)
diabetes insipidus (not enough ADH -> loss of water)
