ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+ (BRAND NEW VISION)
10.4 effective care for fluid's volume excess - answersFluid's volume excess- goal is to restore
fluids balance, correct electrolytes imbalances and eliminate /control the underlying cause of
overload
Pt with acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure = high risk for fluids
volume excess.
· Restore normal fluid balance
· Administer diuretic, osmotic to prevent severe electrolyte imbalance
· Fluid's restriction and sodium intake
· Monitor intake and output
· Monitor weight
· Monitor electrolytes value
10.4 Causes of sodium deficit: - answers· Increase sodium excretion (excessive diaphoresis,
diuretics, vomiting, diarrhea, wound drainage especially gastrointestinal, kidney disease and
decrease secretion of aldosterone)
· Inadequate sodium intake (fasting and low salt diet)
· Dilution of serum sodium (excessive ingestion of hypotonic fluids, kidney disease, freshwater
drowning, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, hyperglycemia, and
heart failure).
10.4 Interventions of sodium deficit...hyponatrium - answersadminister IV sodium chloride,
diuretic administer for hypervolemia. Increase intake sodium with intake foods
Hyponatremia (Low Na) causes... - answerslithium toxicity in client taking lithium- monitor
lithium levels
, 10.4 Hypernatremia (High salt) treatment... - answersAdminister IV infusion
Administer diuretics
Restriction of intake sodium and fluids
10.4 hyponatremia signs and symptoms - answersCNS- *leads to seizures* confusion, feeling
tired, abdominal cramping,
10.4 Hypernatremia signs and symptoms - answerscraves water, weakness, *convulsions
10.4 What is hypokalemia... - answerslow potassium
10.4 Causes of hypokalemia... - answersGI loses- nausea, diarrhea, suctioning,
10.4 Assessment findings for hypokalemia - answerscardiac changes
10.4 treatment and interventions for hypokalemia... - answersDiet, potassium pills, education
on potassium rich diet, cardiac monitoring-tele,
10.4 what is hyperkalemia - answershigh K+
10.4 causes of hyperkalemia - answersRenal failure, acute kidney injury-the body isn't filtering
out waste
10.4 assessment finding for hyperkalemia - answersCardiac arrest, muscle weakness, Increased
GI motility,
