Lauren - Nursing made easy on Instagram: "Understanding IV Fluids: Hypotonic, Isotonic, and Hypertonic Solutions for Student Nurses  1. Isotonic Fluids What They Are: - Isotonic fluids have the same osmolarity as blood plasma (about 275-295 mOsm/L). - They expand the extracellular fluid (ECF) without causing a shift in fluid between compartments.  Common Examples: - 0.9% Sodium Chloride (Normal Saline) - Hartmanns solution - 5% Dextrose in Water (D5W) - initially isotonic, but becomes hypotonic as dextrose is metabolized  Uses: - To treat dehydration - To replace fluid losses (e.g., haemorrhage, surgery) - To maintain fluid balance during surgery  2. Hypotonic IV Fluids What They Are: - Hypotonic fluids have a lower osmolarity than blood plasma (<275 mOsm/L). - They cause water to move int Intracellular And Extracellular Fluid, Fluid Electrolyte Balance Nursing, Fluid Balance Nursing, Fluid Volume Deficit Nursing, Isotonic Hypotonic Hypertonic, Iv Solutions, Extracellular Fluid, Nerdy Nurse, Medical Study

Nursing Fluids and Electrolytes - Free download as Word Doc (.doc), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. The document discusses fluids and electrolytes, including their functions, compartments, and regulation in the body. It covers fluid imbalances like hypovolemia (fluid volume deficit). Key points: 1) Fluids transport nutrients, waste, and hormones and provide medium for metabolic processes. Electrolyte and fluid balance must be maintained for normal function. 2)…
