Disrupted Homeostasis: Fluid, Electrolyte, and
Acid-Base Imbalances in Nursing UPDATED
ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers

Disrupted Homeostasis Pathophysiology of disrupted homeostasis.


Fluid Balance Intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, interstitial
fluid, intravascular fluid, transcellular fluid.




Control of Fluid Balance Pressure sensors and antidiuretic hormone.


Active Transport Movement of substances against a concentration
gradient.


Passive Transport Movement of substances along a concentration
gradient without energy.


Diffusion Movement of solutes from an area of greater
concentration to an area of lesser concentration.

, Filtration Hydrostatic pressure overcoming the opposing
osmotic pressure.




Osmosis Movement of water from a dilute solution to a
more concentrated solution.




Tonicity Isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic.


Fluid Volume Deficit (FVD) Negative fluid balance, dehydration, volume
depletion.


Signs of Dehydration Thirst, rapid weak pulse, low blood pressure, dry
skin and mucous membranes, skin tenting,
decreased urine output.


Interventions for Fluid Volume Monitor daily weight, monitor intake and output,
Deficit increase fluid intake, treat underlying cause, use
caution with elderly patients.


Fluid Volume Excess (FVE) Disease states such as heart failure, liver cirrhosis,
kidney disease/injury, IV therapy.


Signs of Fluid Excess Elevated blood pressure, bounding pulse,
respiratory changes, edema, increased urine
output, weight gain.
