NUR 155 EXAM REVISION
QUESTIONS AND THEIR CORRECT
ANSWERS
Sodium abbreviation
and Normal Value range
Na interchangeably with Salt
natremia
135-145
What are foods to give a pt who has Hyponatremia?
Bread. Cheese. Chips. Hot Dog. Canned foods. Ham. Bacon.
Table salts.
high sodium in blood is called?
hypernatremia
What does Hypernatremia cause?
Dehydration of the cell BECAUSE
water MOVE OUT
creating a fluid overload baby named
Hypervolemia
What is the treatment for Hypernatremia?
and what IV solutions would be best?
,SIMPLY NO SODIUM
Encourage more fluids.
Monitor vital signs. Monitor level of consciousness. Monitor
intake and output. Monitor laboratory
Hypotonic solution OR Isotonic solution - because the cell is
already tiny due to no water, we do not want to make it smaller,
that is hypertonic.
Heart failure and renal failure can be caused by?
HYPERNATERMIA
Hypernatremia is caused by?
Inadequate fluid intake or excess water loss
diarrhea
excessive sodium intake
FRIED (hypernatremia ss)
Fever (low grade) and flushed skin,
Restlessness and irritability,
Increased fluid retention and BP,
Edema peripheral and pitting,
Decreased urine and dry mouth
low sodium in blood is called?
hyponatremia
What does hyponatremia cause?
, fluid intoxication
NO SALT for the WATER to FOLLOW
What is the treatment for Hyponatremia?
and what IV solutions would be best?
Na- sodium intake
Monitor vital signs. Monitor intake and output. Monitor
laboratory results, especially serum sodium and serum
osmolality. Encourage foods high in sodium. Restrict water
intake.
Hypertonic solution
Hyponatremia is caused by
Diuretics GI fluid loss (vomiting, diarrhea)
OVERHYDRATION
Prolonged use of hypotonic IV solutions
SALT LOSS
- super confused
- anorexia/nausea
- lethargy
- tendon reflexes decreased
- limp muscles (weak muscles/spasm)
- orthostatic hypotension/ overactive bowel sounds
- stomach cramping
- seizure, coma, death
