Fluids and Lytes 26

2. charged atoms or molecules that conduct electrical impulses across cells
5. can release hydrogen ions in a solution
7. low potassium
9. movement of solutes from areas of lower to higher concentration
10. same osmolarity as blood plasma
12. solutions with a lower osmolarity than body fluids; excess water moves into the cells; cellular swelling
15. fluid intake exceeds output
16. decreased sodium level in relation to body water
17. abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces
18. hypertonic fluid volume deficit

1. pulls water from the cell to the extracellular fluid compartment; causes cellular shrinkage
3. the movement of solutes from areas to higher concentration to areas of lower concentration
4. narrowing of blood vessels
6. can accept hydrogen ions
8. excessive loss or inadequate intake of fluid
11. increased potassium; lowered by renal excretion
13. movement of water across cell membranes
14. serum sodium level greater than 145 mEq/L
16. maintenance of fluid balance
