5
Q
sleep: homeostatic drive
A
-maintains internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes influencing many body functions:
-thirst, sleep
this is your mind telling you to sleep when you are tired.
6
Q
circadian rhythm
A
daily rythmic activity cycle based on 24hour intervals
7
Q
Stage 1 of sleep
A
- very light sleep, if not disturbed person will move onto 2nd stage
- muscle contractions (Hypnic Myoclonia) occur and are preceeded by the feeling of falling
8
Q
Stage 2 of sleep
A
- person starts to think of images but no visions are seen with your eyes
- if undistrubed, drift off into stage 3
9
Q
Stage 3 of sleep
A
- deeper sleep, muscled are relaxed, and HR is slowed down, BP is falling, breathing is steady and even
- hard to be woken up
10
Q
Stage 4 of sleep
A
- dreaming stage
- deepest sleep of all stages
- person usually only wakes if there is a sudden loud noise.
- BP, HR, and brain speed up
11
Q
when does sleep walking, night terrors, and bed wetting occur
A
stages 3 &4 of sleep
12
Q
stage 5 (REM sleep)
A
- if awakened now..most dreams will be remembered
- REM slows as person wakes
- adults have 3-5 periods of REM a night
- REM is about 90% of time
- brain and eyes move fast
13
Q
percenatge of time in each sleep stage
A
- 50% in stage 2 sleep
- 20% in REM
- 30% in other stages
- infants spend 50% in REM
14
Q
sleep cycles
A
- 90-110 minutes each cycle
- first cycle of night is short REM periods and long deep sleep periods
- as night progresses–REM increases and deep sleep decreases
- by morning–all sleep is either stage 1 or 2 or REM
15
Q
Sleep disruptions
A
-if REM is disturbed, our bodies don’t follow normal sleep cycles next time around–we slip directly into REM until we catch up
16

- smokers often decrease REM sleep because wake every 3-4 hrs from nicotin withdrawal
21
Q
sleep apnea
A
-interruption of breathing during sleep
-often associated with obesity, enlarged tonsils, decreased muscle tone due to aging
-airflow obstructed for 10-60 sec while person struggles to breath due to suction collapsing wind pipe
blood oxygen levels fall= person awakes
-person is always sleepy=possible personality change/ depression
22
Q
sleep apnea risks
A
- morning headaches, decline in mental functions, disinterest in sex, increased BP, irregular heart beat, increased risk of stroke or MI

- often associated with anemia, pregnancy, and diabetes
25
narcolepsy
- sleep attacks at times during the day
- brain is unable to regulate sleep wake cycles normally
- can last a few seconds or over 30mins
- hereditary, brain injury, neurological disease
26
narcolepsy symptoms

29
how can we help pts sleep
music
back massage
clean wrinkle free bedding????
30
Transcelullar
fluid contained within the specialized cavities of the body
- CSF, pleural fluid, digestive secretions
- equals 1 Liter of fluid
31
Active transport
- substance combines with a carrier on outside of cell surface and move in together but then seperate
- moves against normal concentration gradient from low to high
32
fluid intake vs fluid output
- driven by thirst mechanism in hypothalmus
- urine- increase w diabtetes, decreae w renal disease
- insensible loss-lungs- increase vs decrease respiration rate-water vapors
- feces
- skin-sweat, fever, burns abrasions
33
kidneys regulating fluids
conserves and excretes
- excretes-1200-1500 cc water daily
- minimum output-500 cc/day
- filters 135-180 L of plasma/day
- conserves w/ dehydration or less intake
34
how do kidneys know when to excrete or conserve with increased serum osmolality
- regulated by antidiuretic hormone-hypothalmus
| - ADH production- ^ in distal tubule permeability- ^ of reabsorption of water into the blood- decreased urine output
35
how do kindeys know when to excrete or conserve with decreased serum osmolality
- ADH suppression- decreased distal tubule permeability- decreased reabsorption of water into the blood- increased urine output
36
selective retention and excretion by kidneys: renin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism
INCREASES BLOOD VOLUME
- decreased blood flod or BP to kindeys- the release of renin-conversion of angiotensinogen ro angiotensin I to II- promotion of Na+ and H2Oretension to increase blood volume
- release of aldosterone is also stimulated which promotes Na+ retention
37
when does renin system kick in
- when blood vol is low if BP is low the heart gets the blood first- kidneys see this so increase blood vol
- renin causes retention of Na+, if you retain salt water will follow so this will ^ blood vol
38
Selective retention and excretion by kidneys: Atrial natriuretic Hormone
DECREASES BLOOD VOLUME
- released from the cell of the heart in response to excess blood vol and stretching of atrial walls
- secreted w/ ^ BV--CHF, renal failure, increased BP
- it causes renal excretions of Na+ & water, vasodilation, decreases BV and increases osmolality serum
39
isotonic imbalance
-water & electrolytes are lost or gained in equal proportions so osmolality remains constant
40
osmolality
solute concentration
41
hypovolemia vs hypervolemia
- fluid volume deficit
| - fluid volume excess
42
hypotonic vs hypertonic
- lower osmolality (less solute)
| - higher osmolality (more solute)
43
oslmolar balance
loss or gain of only water so osmolality of serum is altered
44
hyperosmoolar vs hypoosmolar
- dehydration-increased solute
| - overhydration-decreased solute
45
isotonic solutions
- 0.9% NS
- Lactated Ringers
- D5W 5% dextros in water
46
When are isotonic solutions used
- used to expand the intravascular compartments & restore vascular volume by remaining in compartments
- used with hypotension and hypovolemia
47
hypertonic solutions
- Dextrose solution
- 5% dextrose in NS-(D5NS)
- 5% dextrose in 1/2 NS-(D5 1/2NS)
- 5% dextrose in LR-(D5LR)
48
When would you use Hypertonic solutions
- water moves from cells (intracelular) into interstitial space then to vascular compartments - dilutes blood concentration
- not used for dehydration!
- used with edema
49
D5W
isotonic on inital administration but then provides free water when dextrose is metabolized- expands intracelullar and extracelullar volumes
-not used for pt at risk for intracranial pressure
50
Hypotonic solutions
- 0.45% NaCl (half normal saline)
| - 0.33% NaCl (1/3 normal saline)
51
when would you use hypotonice solutions

- water moves from vascular compartments into interstitial space and into cells
- cells will expand--not for cerebral edema!!
52
Sodium 135-145 mEq/L
- most abundant cation in ECF and greatest determinant of serum osmolality(solute concentration)
- reg of water balance when reabsorbed from tubules
- chloride and water reabsorbed with it to maintain ECF vol
- transmits nerve impulses
53
continuous or excess excretions =
hyponatremia- water imbalance
| GI loss, sweating, diuretics
54
hyponatremia
- low solute concentration in vascular compartment d/t excretions leaving a higher solute concentration in interstitial space and cells-cells swell bc water is pulled to higher solute
- water intoxiacation
55
hypernatremia
- thirst mechanism helps to prevent it-shouldn't happen
| - increase solute in ECF-increase pull of water from cells=cell dehydration
56
Potassium 3.5-5mEq/L
- main cation in ICF ( sm amount in ECF)
- regulates ICF osmolality
- needed for healing and growth
- helps promote conduction of nerve impulses
- VITAL for skeletal, cardiac function, & smooth muscle activity
- kidneys excrete about 80% of all K+
57
hypokalemia
- t be stored by body must be digested by daily
- lost with heavy perspiration and poor intake
- losses- vomiting, gastric suction, K+ wasting diuretics
58

74
Calcium
- 8.5-10.5 mg/dL
- vital in nueromuscular funtion, cardiac function, essential for bld clotting, bones and teeth
