Across
- 2. is K below 3.5mEq/L. s/s include fatigue, lethargy, muscle weakness, anorexia, N/V, decreased bowel motility/sounds, cardiac dysrhythmias, weak irregular pulses, decreased deep tended reflexes
- 3. is Na above 145mEq/L; s/s include fatigue, restlessness, confusion, altered LOC, convulsions (seizures), dry mucus membranes, tongue dry/red/swollen, irritability, thirst, flushed skin, oliguria
- 5. is Ca below 9.0mg/dL. s/s include tetany, confusion, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, muscle tremors, convulsions (seizures), numbness/tingling of extremities and mouth (circumoral numbness), positive trousseaus and chvosteks sign
- 6. is excess fluid volume or overhydration. s/s include weight gain, slow bounding pulse, HTN, firm subcutaneous tissue, possibly edema, possibly crackles in lungs, lethargy or seizures, hyponatremia, low hematocrit (from hemodilution), and low urine specific gravity with high urine volume
- 9. is when the lungs do not eliminate enough CO2 and CO2 remains in the body causing acidosis
- 12. caused by DKA, renal failure, loss of bicarb via intense diarrhea, sepsis, hyperkalemia. S/S include weakness, lethargy, headache, and confusion; can lead to stupor, unconsciousness, coma, death. treat the cause (insulin for DKA) and admin IV bicarb asap
- 14. is Ca above 10.5mg/dL. s/s include bones (bone pain/fracutres), stones (renal stones), moans and groans (anorexia, N/V), cant pick up the phones (muscle weakness), also depressed deep tendon reflexes, cardiac dysrhythmias
- 15. _______ sign is when the face muscles contract when stimulating the cheek in the presence of hypocalcemia
- 18. ________ spasm (also called Trousseau sign
- 19. caused by excess vomiting, excess GI suction, hypokalemia, use of antacids w/bicarb. neurologic signs as irritability, disorientation, lethargy, muscle twitching, tingling and numbness of the fingers, and convulsions and respiratory manifestations such as slow, shallow respirations; decreased chest movements; and cyanosis. treat underlying cause or give acid such as ammonium chloride
Down
- 1. is K above 5.0mEq/L. s/s include irritability, apathy, confusion, muscle weakness, paresthesias, GI hyperactivity (diarrhea), cardiac dysrhythmias, cardiac arrest, irregular pulses
- 2. is MG below 1.5mEq/L. s/s include neuromuscular irritability, disorientation, vertigo, confusion, increased reflexes, tremors, convulsions, positive trousseaus and chvosteks sign, tachycardia, HTN, respiratory distress, anorexia, dysphagia
- 4. caused by airway obstruction, COPD, opiate use, anything that causes respiratory depression and retention of CO2;Signs and symptoms of this include complaints of increasing difficulty inbreathing, a history of respiratory obstruction(acute or chronic), dyspnea, weakness, dizziness, restlessness, sleepiness, and change in mental alertness. treat by establishing airway
- 7. characterized by severe muscle cramps,carpopedal spasms, laryngeal spasms, and stridor
- 8. is deficient fluid volume or dehydration. s/s include thirst, poor skin turgor, weight loss, weakness, dizziness, postural hypotension, low urine output, dark concentrated urine, dry mucous membranes, dry cracked lips and tongue, sunken eyes, thick saliva, dry skin, tachycardia (pulse is thready/weak), elevated temp, increased hematocrit, high urine specific gravity with low urine volume
- 10. caused by hyperventilation, anxiety, fever, ASA overdose; S/S deep, rapid breathing; tingling of the fingers; pallor around the mouth; dizziness; and spasms of the muscles of the hands. treat by treating cause. slow deep breaths via rebreather or paper bag, sedatives for panic
- 11. is when the lungs blow off too much CO2 resulting in an alkalotic state
- 13. is Mg above 2.5mEq/L. s/s include lethargy, vasodilation/hypotension, decreased deep tendon reflexes, respiratory depression, respiratory or cardiac arrest, N/V
- 16. given to pt to correct metabolic acidosis
- 17. is Na below 135mEq/L. s/s include headache, lethargy, confusion, seizures, twitching, abdominal cramping, N/V
