Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base
Balance
1. You are a nurse who frequently cares for post-surgical
patients in your hospital unit. Most of the medical-surgical
patients have IV fluids infusing during their admission. Due to
the frequent use of IV fluids on your floor, understanding fluid
balance and electrolyte function is primary to your nursing
practice. a. What conditions might lead to the development of
hypovolemia? b. How would the amount of patient fluid loss be
determined? c. Describe how hypovolemia and third-space fluid
shifts correlate. d. Outline the major difference between
hypovolemia and third-space fluid shift. e. Which conditions
can result in third-space fluid shift?
2. You are a nurse in a nonsurgical cardiac unit caring for a 92-
year-old patient who has two sons, 15 grandchildren, and 49
great-grandchildren. She lives in assisted living and has a
history of congestive heart failure (CHF). She consistently
struggles with balancing her fluids and electrolytes and has an
affinity for dill pickles and sauerkraut. While hospitalized, she
remains on a fluid restriction---much to her chagrin, as she
loves ice cream. a. What within her history would indicate she
was at risk for hypervolemia? b. How would dill pickles and
sauerkraut impact her fluid volume?c. What body areas offer
observational evidence of excessive interstitial extracellular
fluid (ECF)? d. Why would your patient be on a strict fluid
restriction while hospitalized? e. Outline nursing interventions
used while a patient is on fluid restriction.
PLEASE follow the instructions. Answer each question in the
order it appears and separately. This is the bibliography to
guide you:
