1156 Identify at least four endogenous factors that affect renal control of sodium and water excretion.
1157 Outline at least six symptoms of physical findings of dehydration.
1158 Describe the objective ways of measuring fluid balance.
1159 List the electrolyte composition of the following solutions: (a) normal (0.9%) saline (b) ½ normal saline (c) 1/3 normal saline (d) 5% dextrose in water (e) Ringer’s lactate
1162 Describe the possible causes, appropriate laboratory studies needed, and treatment of the following conditions: (a) hypernatremia (b) hyponatremia (c) hyperkalemia (d) hypokalemia (e) hyperchloremia (f) hypochloremia
1228 List the normal range of Na+, K+, HCO3-, Cl- in serum, and indicate how these ranges change in perspiration, gastric juice, bile, and ileostomy contents.
1233 In the following situations, indicate whether serum Na, K, HCO3, Cl and blood pH will remain stable (0), rise considerably (++), rise moderately (+), fall moderately (-), or fall considerably (--). (a) excessive gastric losses (b) high volume pancreatic fistula (c) small intestine fistula (d) biliary fistula (e) diarrhea
1234 In the following situations, indicate whether serum and urine Na, K, HCO3, Cl and osmolality will remain stable (0), rise considerably (++), rise moderately (+), fall moderately (-), or fall considerably (--). (a) acute tubular necrosis (b) dehydration (c) inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) (d) diabetes insipidus
