Terms in this set (247)
What is fluid and the process of regulating the
electrolyte balance extracellular fluid volume, body fluid
osmolality, and plasma concentrations of
electrolytes
How much of the 2/3
body is water
What is ICF intracellular fluid
extracellular fluid
o Interstitial: fluid between the cells
What is ECF o Intravascular (plasma)
o Transcellular: CSF, pericardial,
peritoneal, intraocular, and pleural
fluid, fluid in specialized organs
usually shifts low to high osmolality.
What is a fluid Shift -Plasma-to-interstitial fluid shift results in edema
-Interstitial fluid to plasma decreases edema
-Abnormal loss of normal body fluids,

-Excessive intake of fluids, abnormal
retention of fluids, or interstitial-to-
plasma fluid shift
Manifestations:
o Headache
o Confusion
o Lethargy
o JVD
o Peripheral edema
Extracellular Fluid
o Bounding pulse
Volume
Imbalances: Fluid o Dyspnea
volume excess o Muscle spasms
(hypervolemia) o Weight gain
o coma
Treatment: remove fluid without
changing electrolyte composition or
osmolality of ECF
o Diuretics.
· Structural changes in kidneys
decrease ability to conserve water-
can lead to decrease in GFR and
creatinine clearance.
Gerontologic · Hormonal changes lead to decrease in
considerations for fluid renin and aldosterone and increase in ADH
electrolyte and ANP- atrial netriatic peptide-
imbalances hormone that releases expanded
