FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCES - Weebly
FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCES Body FLUID is composed primarily of water and electrolytes. The body is equipped with homeostatic mechanisms to keep the composition and volume of body fluids within narrow limits. Organs involved in this mechanism include the kidneys, lungs, heart, blood vessels, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, and pituitary gland. Body FLUID is divided into two types: intracellular (within the cells) and extracellular (interstitial or tissue FLUID , intravascular or plasma, and transcellular, such as cerebrospinal or synovial fluids). RELATED CONCERNS All plans of care specific to underlying health condition causing imbalance, , DM, HF, upper GI bleeding, renal failure/dialysis.
Provide balanced protein, low-sodium diet. Restrict fluids as indicated. RATIONALE One liter of fluid retention equals a weight gain of 2.2 lb. Fluid restrictions, as well as extracellular shifts, can aggravate drying of mucous membranes, and patient may desire more fluids than are prudent. Sudden fluid bolus/prolonged excessive administration
