Answer 1

1.includes a summary of conditions with Definition, signs and symptoms and treatment

2.place the conditions by a system in alphabetical order

Liquids and electrolytes

3.hypernatremia

A. Summary:Hypernatremia is a common electrolyte problem that is defined as a rise in serum sodium concentration to a value exceeding 145mmol/L.

Definition :High concentration of sodium in the blood. It is defined as hyperosmolar condition caused by a decrease in total body water relative to electrolyte content.

Signs and symptoms :symptoms based on the conditions severity but includes thirst, restlessness and fatigue, dehydration, altered level of consciousness, dry mouth, fast heart rate.

Treatment :it includes drinking more water or intravenous fluids, oral rehydration therapy.

4.Hyponatremia

A. Summary :Hyponatremia represents a relative excess of water in relation to sodium.

Definition :A condition that occurs when the level of sodium in the blood is too low. In this condition body holds too much water and dilutes amount of sodium in blood and causes levels to be low.

Signs and symptoms :nausea, headache, confusion, fatigue, dizziness, thirst, mental confusion, insufficient urine production.

Treatment :Limited fluid intake ,saline solution, sodium chloride and oral rehydration therapy,diuretics.

5.Hyperkalemia

A. Summary :hyperkalemia is a potentially life threatening condition in which serum potassium exceeds 5.5mmol/l.it can be caused by reduced renal erection or excessive intake of potassium from intracellular space.

Definition :Defined as high level of electrolyte potassium in the blood.

Signs and symptoms :muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath.

Treatment :it includes IV calcium, insulin, sodium bicarbonate and diuretics.

6.Hypokalemia

A. Summary :Hypokalemia is a potentially life-threatening imbalance. Result from inadequate potassium intake, increased potassium excretion, or shift from extracellular to the intracellular space.

Definition :It is defined as deficiency of potassium in the blood stream.

Signs and symptoms :weakness,fatigue,muscle cramps, constipation, abnormal heart rhythms.

Treatment:treated with oral or intravenous potassium, see a doctor if you develops abnormal heart rhythms.

7.Hypercalcemia

A. Summary:Hypercalcemia is and elevated calcium level in the blood. It results from excessive skeletal calcium release, increased intestinal calcium absorption, or decreased renal calcium excretion.

Definition :It is defined as too much calcium in the blood.

Signs and symptoms :increased thirst, and urination, stomach pain, nausea, bone pain, muscle weakness, confusion and fatigue, weight loss.

Treatment:Treatment include drugs, steroid and diuretics or surgical removal (parathyroidectomy).

8.Hypocalcemia

A. Summary :Hypocalcemia is a condition in which there are lower than average levels of calcium in the blood. Calcium has many important roles in the body key to the conduction of electricity in your body and nervous system needs calcium to function properly.

Definition :deficiency of calcium in the blood stream.

Signs and symptoms :cramping, muscle weakness, fatigue, irritability or sensation of pins and needles.

Treatment :calcium and vitamin D supplements, dietary supplements, antacid.
