✔✔What is the normal lab level of Chloride? - ✔✔95-108
*works w Na to balance fluids
✔✔What is the function & normal lab range for Phosphate (PO4)? - ✔✔binds w/Ca to
promote muscle & nerve action
2.5-4.5
, ✔✔Describe high phosphate & low phosphate & food sources. - ✔✔High- pt in chemo

✔✔Describe fluid volume excess. - ✔✔hyperVOlemia
too much Na in ECF from ingestion of too much Na, poor cardiac function, kidney
patients
isotonic gain of water & electrolytes
Edema->pitting edema
✔✔What is subjective data? - ✔✔aka symptoms
apparent only to the person affected and can only be described/verified by that person
(Subjective patient Says)
