Solutions

Expert Solution

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.

Please post rest of the questions separately.

Lab results of a 73 y old male show that sodium levels came back at 129 mEq/L (Sodium) and 3.5 mEq/L potassium. 1) Why would someone have normal levels in potassium and low levels of sodium if potassium regulates water balance and acid-base balance in blood? 2) Why and how is the sodium level abnormal? 3) How quickly should a doctor try to correct this imbalance? Why is the timing a concern?
