🎥 Video Description:
This recording covers Chapter 8: Fluid and Electrolyte Management from the Davis Advantage for Medical-Surgical Nursing textbook.

In this video, we’ll review the fundamentals of fluid and electrolyte balance and dive into the nursing care of patients with imbalances:

✔️ Fluid Compartments and Regulation – Understand how fluid moves between intracellular and extracellular spaces and the role of the kidneys, hormones, and thirst in maintaining balance.
✔️ Electrolyte Functions – Learn the roles of major electrolytes like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and chloride in nerve, muscle, and cellular function.
✔️ Hypovolemia and Hypervolemia – Discuss signs and symptoms, causes, diagnostic findings, and nursing interventions for fluid volume deficit and overload.
✔️ Electrolyte Imbalances – Explore the causes, manifestations, and management of:
🔹Hyponatremia & Hypernatremia
🔹Hypokalemia & Hyperkalemia
🔹Hypocalcemia & Hypercalcemia
🔹Hypomagnesemia & Hypermagnesemia
🔹Hypophosphatemia & Hyperphosphatemia
✔️IV Fluid Therapy – Review isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions, including clinical indications and nursing considerations.
✔️Nursing Assessment & Priorities – Highlight focused assessments, lab interpretation, safety considerations, and collaborative interventions for patients at risk of imbalance.
