Question

dehydration, and electrolytic and acid-base imbalances. What do you know about dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and acid-base imbalances? 3. Create a table that lists the following terms and their definitions, in your own words. Act as if you were explaining the terms to someone without a medical background. In another column explain how the terms relate to electrolyte imbalances and/or acid-base imbalances. a. hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, and hypokalemia the terms.) metabolic alkalosis (Indicate the difference between b. acidosis and alkalosis (Indicate the difference between c. respiratory and metabolic acidosis and respiratory and the terms.)

Explanation / Answer

a.

b.

c.

Respiratory alkalosis is the alkalosis caused by hyperventilation of the alveoli leading to excess loss of CO2 in the blood thereby forming less carbonic acid which disscociates and decreases H+ ions in blood thereby rising pH. Metabolic acidosis refers to the rise in pH of blood due to accumulation of HCO3 concentration due to loss of H+ ions.

Hypernatremia Hyponatremia Hyperkalamia Hypokelamis A physiological condition in which the sodium ion concentration in the serum exceeds 145 mmol/L A physiological condition in which the sodium ion concentration in the serum is lower than 115 mmol/L A physiological condition in which the potassium ion concentration in the serum exceeds 6 mmol/L A physiological condition in which the potassium ion concentration in the serum is lower than 3.5 mmol/L
