Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalance Paper Julia Peterson University of Akron Introduction Homeostasis of fluid and electrolyte balance is important for the body to be able to function. The nursing student will cover the risk‚ pathology‚ and signs and symptoms for both fluid deficit and hypokalemia. The nursing student will also apply these findings to the patient specific information from the clinical day February 8‚ 2011. This will give her the ability to formulate four different nursing diagnosis

The blood plasma is consists of electrolytes. It comprise of both negative and positive charge. The negative charge is made up of chloride‚ bicarbonate and phosphates. The positive charge is made up of calcium‚ sodium‚ potassium and magnesium. This specifies the condition of the body’s acid-base ratio‚ water balance‚ endocrine and renal systems. These indicate the condition of your body’s acid-base ratio‚ endocrine and renal systems‚ water balance and other conditions. There is a fine line between

EXPERIMENT Ion - an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons. Ionization - The condition of being dissociated into ions by heat‚ electrical discharge‚ radiation‚ or chemical reaction. Electrolyte - A chemical compound that ionizes when dissolved or molten to produce an electrically conductive medium. Dissociation - When an ionic compound breaks up into its ions. The experiment started by placing the rods of the light bulb device into

------------------------------------------------- Water and Electrolytes Water constitutes 50-55% of a woman’s body weight and 55-60% of man’s weight. Water gives structure and form to the body‚ helps maintain body temperature‚ and also creates the necessary environment for cell metabolism. There are two compartments of body water‚ extracellular and intracellular fluid. Extracellular fluid (ECF) is water found outside of cells. Making up approximately 20% of total body weight‚ the ECF consists of blood plasma‚ interstitial fluid surrounding the

Electrolyte is a scientific term for salts‚ specifically ions. The term electrolyte means that this ion is electrically-charged and moves to either a negative or positive electrode. Ions that move to the negative which are called cations are positively charged and Ions that move to the positive which are called anions are negatively charged. They can be divided into acids‚ bases‚ and salts‚ because they all give ions when dissolved in water. Electrolytes are present in the human body‚ and the balance

Osmolality and electrolytes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of febrile children with and without seizures. During acute febrile diseases mild disturbances of water and electrolyte balance occur frequently. It has been suggested that changes in electrolyte balance‚ in particular hyponatraemia‚ might predispose a child to convulsions during febrile illness; however‚ the changes of electrolytes in the CSF are not known. We have studied the effects of fever and convulsions on water and electrolyte balance

Fluid Balance Explain in detail the fluid compartments of the body‚ including distribution of fluid and electrolytes within each compartment and the movement between compartments. In the average person water constitutes 60% to the total body weight.: 42L in a 70kg individual. 40% is intracellelular fluid‚ while remaining 20% is extracellular. The extracellular fluid can be divided into plasma (from intravascular compartment) and interstitial fluid intracellular fluid (28 L‚ about 35% of lean
