A self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival

The force that draws water from a less concentrated solute through a selectively permeable membrane to a more concentrated solute

Accumulation of fluid in the interstitial space that can be localized or generalized

This type of dehydration consists of low serum osmolality causing fluid to leak from the vascular space into the interstitial space and cells causing the cells to swell.

Decreased pH and decreased HCO3 is seen in severe diarrhea, diabetic ketoacidosis and lactic acidosis and causes which type of acid-base imbalance?

The name of the fluid compartment that is responsible for storage of 30% of body fluid

Particles or Solutes of liquids, gases, or solids move from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration

The number on the scale used to describe pitting that takes 1-2 minutes for an indentation to return to normal

When fluid has been drawn out of the cells into the vascular space (causing cell shrinkage), this type of IV solution is used to rehydrate cells.

Increased pH and decreased PaCO2 is seen with hyperventilation and causes which type of acid-base imbalance?

The name of the fluid compartment that is responsible for storage of 70% of body fluid

The Pressure that pulls fluids into the vascular system so fluids and wastes can be excreted

The number on the scale used to describe pitting that takes 1-6 seconds for an indentation to return to normal

Normal Saline, Lactated Ringers, and D5W are all what type of IV solution?

Decreased pH and increased PaCO2 is seen with hypoventilation and respiratory failure and causes which type of acid-base imbalance?

The name of the fluid that is "between the cells"

The accumulation of trapped extracellular fluid in a body space that is not perfused; and represents fluid loss because it is unavailable in the vascular system

The number on the scale used to describe pitting that takes greater than 2 minutes for an indentation to return to normal

D5NS, D5 1/2NS, and D5LR are all what type of IV solution?

Increased pH and increased HCO3 is seen with excessive vomiting, NG drainage, or excessive use of diuretics and causes which type of acid-base imbalance?

The fluid compartment that consists of cerebral spinal fluid, synovial fluid, peritoneal fluid, pleural fluid

The name of the process that is used to remove fluid from the third space in the chest pleural space

The number on the scale used to describe pitting that takes 10-25 seconds for an indentation to return to normal

What type of dehydration is caused when the patient loses water and sodium equally?

What two regulatory systems are involved with compensation?
