NUR 321 - Video capsule endoscopy Fluid and Electrolyte Balance

Document Content and Description Below

Reading Assignment:  Oxygenation (Chapter 40)  Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance (Chapter 41)  Care of Surgical Patients (Chapter 50) Patients:  Piya Jordan, Medical-Surgical ... Floor, Room 403  Patricia Newman, Medical-Surgical Floor, Room 406 Objectives:  Identify disturbances in fluid and electrolyte balances in two patients.  Describe variables that affect fluid and electrolyte balance.  Describe the factors to include in the assessment of a peripheral intravenous (PIV) site.  Calculate an intravenous (IV) flow rate. Exercise 1 Writing This exercise will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. 1. Identify the three processes at play in fluid homeostasis. 1. fluid intake and absorption 2. fluid distribution 3. fluid output 2. A nurse is reviewing the results of a patient's electrolyte panel. The documentation indicates the patient's potassium level is 5.2 mEq/L, a level that is indicative of: A. hypopotassium. B. hyperkalemia. C. hypernatremia. D. hypercalcemia. Indicate whether the following statement is true or false. 3. When the nurse is providing fluid maintenance to an adult, the use of a peripheral 18-gauge cannula is appropriate. FALSE 4. Which of the following patient populations are at an increased risk for developing fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances? Select all that apply. A.
