Fluid imbalance disorder

Question 1

Name the fluid imbalance disorder:
-urine specificity gravity >1.030
-increased hematocrit males >52, females >48
-BUN >20
symptoms include:
confusion, thirst, dry mucous membranes, orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, weak and thready pulse, decreased skin turgor, prolonged capillary refill, decreased urinary output

Answer 1

Isotonic fluid
volume deficit
(hypovolemia)

Question 2

Name the fluid imbalance disorder:
-urine specific gravity >1.030
-increased hematocrit adult males >52, females >48
-BUN >20
-Serum sodium >145
Symptoms include:
dry, sticky mucous membranes, flushed dry skin, increased body temperature, irritability, seizures, and coma

Answer 2

Hypertonic fluid
volume deficit
(dehydration)

Question 3

Name the fluid imbalance disorder:

-decreased hematocrit males <42, females <37
-BUN <7
Symptoms include:
weight gain, edema independent areas, bounding peripheral pulses, hypertension, JVD, dyspnea, cough, abnormal lung sounds

Answer 3

Isotonic fluid
volume excess

Question 4

Name the fluid imbalance disorder:

-BUN <7
-serum sodium <135
Symptoms include:
neurologic changes that indicate cerebral edema, decreased level of consciousness, coma, and seizures

Answer 4

Hypotonic fluid
volume excess
