Group of answer choices

Respiratory.

Cardiac.

GI.

CNS.

Question 3

Group of answer choices

Potassium.

Magnesium.

Sodium.

Calcium.

Question 4

Which of the following are clinical manifestations of fluid volume excess? Select all that apply.

Group of answer choices

Edema.

Decreased urine output.

Crackles in the lungs.

Weight loss.

Specific gravity 1.044.

Question 5

Which laboratory finding does the nurse expect if the patient is diagnosed with fluid volume deficit?

Group of answer choices

Specific gravity 1.020.

Potassium 5.8 mEq/L

Crackles in the lungs.

Hct 42%.

Question 6

A patient has consumed an excessive amount of sodium. The nurse would anticipate which clinical manifestation?

Group of answer choices

Increased urination

Hyperactivity.

Edema

K 5.7 mEq/L

Question 7

The nurse is caring for a patient with an hypercalcemia. The nurse would anticipate which of the following?

Group of answer choices

Hyporkalemia.

Hypophosphatemia.

Hyponatremia.

Hypomagnesemia.

Question 8

The nurse is caring for a patient with hypotension. Which of the following mechanism are activated to improve the blood pressure? Select all that apply.

Group of answer choices

Release of angiotensin II

Secretion of ADH.

Secretion of aldesterone.

Activation of the hypothalamus.

Increase in blood osmolality.

Answer 1

Ans -1 lethargy and confusion

Signs of hyponatremia may include

● Nausea with vomiting

● Fatigue

● Headache or confusion

● Cramps or spasms in your muscles

● Irritability and restlessness

Ans 2. High level of Serum K level can cause arrythmia and cardiovascular dysfunction

Ans 3. Sodium and potassium

After age forty there is an increase in cortical glomerulosclerosis and a decline in both glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow. These changes may be associated with an inability to excrete a concentrated or a dilute urine, ammonium, sodium, or potassium. Hyperkalemia, Hypernatremia and hyponatremia are the most common electrolyte abnormalities found in the elderly.

Ans 4 . Edema, crackles in lungs, decreased urine output, specific gravity 1.044

Excess fluid volume due to cardiac dysfunction causes oedema, crackles inung due to back pressure, and decreased urine output, specific gravity of urine increases due to concentrated urine.
