Identify commonly occurring alterations in fluid and electrolyte balance and their related therapies.
ANSWERS :
ALTERATIONS IN FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE :
* HYPONATREMIA : It is loss of serum sodium levels from the body less than 135 mEq/L
Therapies : Administer IV fluids of sodium, in severe cases administer 5% NaCl solutions
* HYPERNATREMIA : Excess sodium levels more than 145 mEq/L in the body
Therapies : Administer diuretics, assess for neurological examination as the patient is disoriented, less intake of fluids, elevate the body part as edema is present
* HYPOCALCEMIA : Low level of calcium in the body 8.5 mg/dl
Therapies : Administer intravenous calcium, calcium rich diet, correcting the cause
* HYPERCALCEMIA : High levels of calcium in the blood 10.5 mg/dl
Therapies : Administer medications like calcitonin, biphosphonates, low calcium diet
