(BRAND NEW!!)
Dehyrdation .....ANSWER.....Can occur when the loss of body
fluids, mostly water, exceeds the amount that is taken in
More water is moving out of individual cells and then out of the
body than the amount of water that is taken in through drinking
Electrolytes .....ANSWER.....Mineral salts
A compound that separates into ions when it dissolves in water
Sodium, potassium, chloride, total CO2, bicarbonate, total
calcium, ionized calcium, magnesium, phosphate, anion gap
,Page 2 of 55
Extracellular fluid .....ANSWER.....fluid outside the cell
Approximately 1/3 of total body water
Has 2 major divisions (intravascular fluid and interstitial fluid)
and a minor division (transcellular fluids)
Extracellular fluid volume deficit .....ANSWER.....Present when
there is insufficient isotonic fluid in the extracellular compartment
