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

Lab 7: The Kidney’s Role in Fluid Balance Introduction The renal system performs a vital role in homeostasis. The kidneys’ ability to retain valuable constituents and expel metabolic wastes from the body enables this system to regulate the volume‚ osmolarity‚ and pH of body’s internal fluid environment (Sherwood‚ 2007‚ p. 511). The functional unit of the kidney‚ referred to as the nephron‚ is composed of both tubular components—Bowman’s capsule proximal tubule‚ loop of Henle‚ the distal tubule

An intake interview is primarily an assessment tool designed to answer critical questions that will facilitate an understanding of a client’s current presentation and problems and allow for an initial formulation to be developed (Hughes & Byrne‚ 2009; Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan‚ 2012). The central function of an intake interview is to gather necessary information from the client. It also serves as an opportunity to orientate the client to a potentially new situation as well as promote rapport

The intent of this experiment is to demonstrate the formations of the world oceans and why they are salty. I hope to learn more about the formations of the world oceans and what causes the oceans to be salty. Based on my research‚ I know that if salty water was put on black paper and left outside in the sun‚ the water would evaporate but the salt crystals would stay. The salt would not evaporate because it is a solid. Knowing this I formed a hypothesis‚ being‚ if salty water was poured on black paper

theories then another scientists proves it wrong. I believe that the moon was formed from the big impact. The first theory is the co-formation theory. The co-formation theory also know as the condensation theory‚ says that the moon was formed at the same time as the earth. The theory states that the solar system was formed out of the solar nebula. The co formation theory explains why the moon appears to be in the location it is in. The weakness of this theory is because if the moon and the earth

Extracellular and Intracellular fluid The first thing to be explained is intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid. Intracellular fluid is the liquid that is found inside cells. Extracellular fluid is found in things like plasma and this stands for all the body fluid outside of the cells. Intracellular fluid is separated by membranes and put into compartments. Electrolytes Electrolytes are found in the blood‚ urine and fluid inside cells in the body and in the space surrounding them. There are

The fact that firms are a different way to organize economic activities cannot explain explicitly and adequately the reason of firm formation. Many socialists and economists have given their interpretations of the conditions under which firms emerged and developed in certain ways in a specialised exchange economy. These explanations are drawn from each other yet have different identified

Peat Formation Peat is a partially decayed organic matter laid down in anaerobic‚ or lacking oxygen‚ conditions in wetlands. Peat forms when plant material‚ usually in marshy areas‚ is inhibited from decaying fully by acidic conditions. It is composed mainly of peat moss or sphagnum‚ but also includes trees‚ grasses‚ and other marshland vegetation. It also includes many other types of organic remains such as fungi‚ insects‚ pollen‚ and on occasion dead animals. Peat formed in very wet conditions
