What You'll Learn
Locate fluid in the intracellular, interstitial, and intravascular compartments and connect those spaces to assessment findings.
Distinguish diffusion, osmosis, filtration, and active transport.
Predict water movement using tonicity and osmolality.
Recognize fluid-volume deficit and excess and prioritize perfusion or oxygenation concerns.
Differentiate isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic IV-fluid effects and major safety considerations.
Recognize low and high sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus patterns.
Connect potassium and calcium changes with characteristic ECG clues and urgent nursing risks.
Use connected electrolyte patterns instead of correcting one laboratory value in isolation.
Interpret pH, PaCO2, HCO3, PaO2, and SaO2 without confusing ventilation with oxygenation.
Distinguish respiratory and metabolic acidosis and alkalosis, then identify compensation and clinical priorities.
