Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances

NSG 210 - Quiz 1
Horizontales
A sign of low calcium, magnesium, and/or chloride characterized by muscle spasms that can progress to bronchospasms and stridor
Kayexalate binds with this cation in addition to calcium and magnesium to reduce elevated levels via the GI tract
This imbalance is characterized by a swollen, dry, red tongue
A type of IV fluid that causes a risk for cerebral swelling and increased ICP (intracranial pressure)
This fluid imbalance is characterized by an elevation in blood pressure, tachycardia, and pitting edema
This imbalance can be caused by acidosis and can be treated by administration of insulin along with a dextrose solution
A client who recently had neck surgery should be screened frequently for this sign (characterized by an inversion of the hand when a BP cuff is inflated)
This type of central line has a Dacron cuff decreasing the risk of catheter migration and infection, thus making this catheter a very good long-term option for IV therapy
This imbalance is characterized by muscle weakness, constipation, decreased BP, and an EKG with ST segment depression, a flattened T wave, and a prominent U wave
Verticales
This imbalance is characterized by confusion, fatigue, headache, and seizures and can cause rapid fluid shifting into the cells
A type of IV fluid that causes a risk of elevated blood pressure and symptoms of fluid volume overload
This fluid imbalance is characterized by poor capillary refill and elevated urine specific gravity
This imbalance can be caused by hyperparathyroidism or by renal failure
Normal levels of this electrolyte are approximately 1.8-2.7 mg/dL
This electrolyte would likely be elevated with hypernatremia and decreased with metabolic alkalosis (retained bicarbonate)
