| 2. | What are assessed when checking for changes in some electrolytes, especially magnesium (Abbrev) |
| 5. | Be prepared for an EKG, palpitations may ensue. Levels above 5.0mEq/L |
| 9. | Regulatory organs of acid base control; quicker response to imbalances |
| 10. | Symptoms include: peripheral edema, crackles in lung fields, labored breathing, hypertension, and fatigue on exertion |
| 11. | Tonicity or concentration of solutes within fluid; amount of salts and electrolytes dissolved |
| 12. | Fluids in tissues instead of in the vessels |
| 17. | Ions that are necessary for cellular activity and metabolism |
| 18. | Urine measure of osmolality concentration; more solute, more dehydration, higher specific gravity reading |
| 24. | pH 7.27, paCO2 53, HCO3 24 |
| 25. | Electrically charged molecules |
| 26. | Sign of hypocalcemia easily assessed by facial twitch. |
| 27. | pH 7.30, paCO2 45, HCO3 19 |
| 29. | Solute concentration outside cell is lower than inside; in iv fluids means lower than blood concentration normally |
| 30. | Main excretory gas; measure of acidic level of ABG in blood |
| 32. | Fluid within cell |
| 33. | This really affects those reflexes if levels are above or below normal at 1.7-2.7 mEq/L |
| 37. | pH 7.5, pa CO2 29, HCO3 24 |
| 38. | Lower Renal ___________ may reduce filtration rates and capabilities |
| 40. | Main method of regulating fluid balance; main sensible fluid output |
| 41. | Hypomagnesemic response |
| 43. | Closed system that encompasses lungs, kidneys, cardiac and all other organs, and moves fluids. |
| 44. | Medication such as furosemide or hydrochlorothiazide; have that urinal ready |
| 46. | Watch for constipation, fatigue and muscle spasms; level below 3.5 mEq/L |
| 48. | Fluid volume excess may express symptoms of this in the lung fields |
| 49. | concentration of solutes is greater than inside the cells |
| 51. | One of the main electrolytes that with minor fluctuations has big effects |
| 52. | Blood urea nitrogen (Abbrev) measure of kidney function |
| 53. | The great volumizer |
| 54. | One of the big six electrolytes; main component of bones and has inverse relation with calcium |
