1. Question Fluid & Electrolytes
Differentiate between normal the balance movement of water & solutes between ICF & ECF =
isovolemia . regulation of water balance- hypothalamic , pituitary, adrenal cortical , renal , cardiac,
gastrointestinal regulation, insensible water loss.
Abnormal cellular- changes in solute levels of ICF & ECF,
Hypovolemia- ECF has lower osmolality than ICF which draws water INTO the cell causing cellular
swelling & plasma volume decrease.
Immune structure
Function – body fluids functional compartments ICF (%40 of body weight) & ECF (%20 body weight)
moving by osmosis. Intrvascular (IV) – blood plasma (<5 %), interstitial fluid (IF) fluid between the
cells & outside blood vessels ( <15 % , other fluids lymph, synovial, CSF, intestinal, sweat, urine,
intraocular, & body cavity fluids= 3 spaces
ALL fluids in the body are called TBW, body temp regulation, lubrication (synovium, pleura &
pericardium
Fluids – normal, contracted & exp&ed
Electrolytes- isotonic, hypertonic & hypotonic
Values of electrolytes
Sodium- 135-145
Potassium 3.5 -5
Chloride 106-106
Calcium 9-11
Bun 10-20
creatine 0.7- 1.2
Co2 (bicarb) 22-26
Magnesium 1.5-2.5
2. Question Fluid & Electrolytes
Dehydration The excretion of ketone bodies results in loss of water & electrolytes
Explore age-specific- Loss of fluids from diarrhea can represent a significant proportion of body weight in
infants. Renal mechanisms that regulate fluid & electrolyte conservation may not be mature enough to
counter the losses, so dehydration can develop rapidly.
developmental alterations in cellular ematous fluid accumulates, it is trapped in a “third space” (i.e., the
interstitial space) & dehydration can develop as a result of this sequestering of fluid. Such sequestration
immune processes- increased sodium (hypernatremia) ICF, water deficit ICF, Hyperglycemia ICF
3. Question Fluid & Electrolytes
Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with alterations in cellular
immune function
4. Question Fluid & Electrolytes
Dehydration
Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with alterations in cellularimmune function- Marked water deficit is manifested by symptoms of dehydration: headache, thirst, dry
skin & mucous membranes, weight loss, decreased urine output, & concentrated urine (with the exception
of diabetes insipidus). Skin turgor may be normal or decreased. Symptoms of hypovolemia, including
tachycardia, weak pulses, & postural hypotension, may be present.
Water deficit, or hypertonic dehydration, can be caused by lack of access to water, pure water losses,
hyperventilation, arid climates, or increased renal clearance.
5. Question Fluid & Electrolytes kidneys- filter electrolytes from the blood,
Chronic Renal Failure
Relate pathophysiological alterations in cellular chronic renal failure pruritus is phosphate deposits in
the skin, Decreased renal excretion of potassium is commonly associated with
hyperkalemia. Renal failure that results in oliguria (urine output <30 ml/hr) is accompanied by elevations
of serum K+ concentration. The severity of hyperkalemia is related to the severity of renal dysfunction, the
amount of K+ intake, & the degree of acidosis from the renal failure.
immune processes to the development slower rises associated with chronic renal failure. cute or chronic
renal failure with significant loss of glomerular filtration; treatment of metastatic tumors with
chemotherapy that releases large amounts of phosphate into serum; long-term use of laxatives or enemas
containing phosphates; hypoparathyroidism

treatment of select health problems.
Acid/Base Disturbances in fluid & electrolyte or acid-base balance are common & can be life
threatening. The respiratory system regulates acid-base balance by controlling the rate of ventilation
when there is metabolic acidosis or alkalosis.
7. Question
Differentiate between normal Phosphate acts as an intracellular & extracellular anion buffer in the
regulation of acid-base balance; in the form of ATP it provides energy for muscle contraction. The lungs,
kidneys, & bone are the major organs involved in the regulation of acid-basebalance. The systems are
interrelated & work together to regulate short- or long-term changes in acid-base status.
abnormal cellular
immune structure & function. odium is important in other body functions, including maintenance of
neuromuscular irritability for conduction of nerve impulses (in conjunction with potassium & calcium),
regulation of acid-base balance (through sodium bicarbonate & sodium phosphate), participation in
cellular chemical reactions, & transport of substances across the cellular membrane8. Question Acid/Base
Metabolic Alkalosis- systemic increase in H+ concentration or decrease in bicarbonate (base)
Differentiate between normal increased CNS responsiveness dizziness, cramping, agitation, seizure
abnormal cellular- high blood PH & elevation of HCO3- cause excessive loss of metabolic acids,
vomiting, gi suction, excessive intake of alkaline drugs (antacids)
immune structure compensation hypoventilation to decrease CO2 release.

9. Question Acid/Base
Renal Failure- kidneys- filter electrolytes from the blood,
Relate pathophysiological alterations in cellular- n acute renal failure K+ levels rise more rapidly with
more serious consequences. cute or chronic renal failure with significant loss of glomerular filtration;
treatment of metastatic tumors with chemotherapy that releases large amounts of phosphate into serum;
long-term use of laxatives or enemas containing phosphates; hypoparathyroidism

treatment of select health problems. Acute renal failure, severe congestive heart failure, & cirrhosis are
clinical conditions that can precipitate water excess. Decreased urine formation from renal disease or
decreased renal blood flow contributes to water excess
10. Question Acid/Base
Metabolic Acidosis- systemic increase in H + concentration or increase in bicarbonate (base)
Analyze pathophysiologic mechanisms associated with alterations in cellular- decreased CNS
responsiveness, headache, confusion, lethargy, coma
immune function- causes loss of bicarbonate from intestine, diarrhea, decreased excreation of H+,
