2. CONCEPT: Fluid and Electrocyte
3. REVIEW MODULE CHAPTER: 5
4. Related Content: Electrolytes are minerals in your body that have an electric charge. They are in your blood, urine and body fluids. Maintaining the right balance of electrolytes helps your body's blood chemistry, muscle action and other processes. Sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, phosphate and magnesium are all electrolytes. You get them from the foods you eat and the fluids you drink. Levels of electrolytes in your body can become too low or too high. That can happen when the amount of water in your body changes, causing dehydration or overhydration.
5. Underlying Principles: Fluid and electrolyte imbalances can occur due to various causes, such as nausea/vomiting, dehydration, surgery, trauma, burn injuries, bleeding, and liver or kidney problems. The body's electrolytes are regulated by the endocrine system, the vascular system, the gastrointestinal system, and the kidneys.
6. Nursing Interventions: Assess weight daily Administer pain medication as appropriate. Provide intravenous or oral hydration as needed. Supplement electrolyte levels as appropriate and as ordered by the healthcare provider. Administer oxygen as needed.
