Learning Outcomes Safe and Effective Care Environment 1 Assess the patient with a fluid or electrolyte imbalance for falls‚ especially older adults. 2 Use safety precautions to prevent injury or death when administering parenteral potassium-containing solutions. 3 Supervise the oral fluid therapy and intake and output measurement aspects of care delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel. Health Promotion and Maintenance 4 Teach healthy adults and patients how to prevent dehydration.

nonfebrile controls. The osmolality in febrile children with convulsions was 3.8% (P < 0.01) and without seizures 3.5% (P < 0.01) lower than in nonfebrile nonconvulsive children. The changes in CSF sodium concentration‚ and to a lesser extent potassium and chloride concentrations‚ paralleled those of CSF osmolality. A positive correlation was observed between the CSF and serum osmolatities (r = 0.73‚ P < 0.0001)‚ and sodium concentrations (r = 0.63‚ P < 0.0001). A negative correlation between

Alkali Metals Introduction Alkali metals refer to six elements belonging to the Group IA of the long form of the Modern Periodic Table‚ viz. Lithium (Li)‚ Sodium (Na)‚ Potassium (K)‚ Rubidium (Rb)‚ Cesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr). Fr is a radioactive element. These elements are called so because they form strongly alkaline oxides and hydroxides. Electronic Configuration of Alkali Metals Each of the alkali metals has one electron in their outermost (valence) shell‚ which is just outside an inert

Assignment | Dehydration | Miesha K. Branch | Human beings require water to survive. Individuals have to understand the importance of staying hydrated and the warning signs of dehydration in order to live long healthy lives. Water and fluids are the main element in staying hydrated and healthy Dehydration is the loss of salts and water that can cause many complications or health issues in human beings. Dehydration can occur when an individual doesn’t consume enough fluids such as water‚

Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen

Prediction: My prediction was that they were going to all get cold and crack or just too hot and explode like glass bursting. Materials: * Balance * Spatula and watch glass. * Stirring rod. * Potassium nitrate * Sodium thiosulfate Method: Potassium nitrate in water 1. Add 10mL of water
