Document Summary
The characteristics of body fluids: volume, concentration (osmolality), composition (electrolyte. Hco3 normal: nursing process, assessment (1) first, assess a patient"s age. (b) children who are between the ages of 2 and 12 years frequently respond to illnesses with that of children or adults. Infants and young children have greater water needs and immature kidneys. They are at greater risk for ecv deficit and hypernatremia because body water loss is proportionately greater per kilogram of weight. Fyi hct is 3x that of hgb (10-14 is (a) an infant"s proportion of total body water (cid:523)(cid:889)0% to (cid:890)0% total body weight(cid:524) is greater than fevers of higher temperatures and longer duration than those of adults. At any age fever the rate of insensible water loss. Adolescents have metabolism and water production (2) environment. Sweat is a hypotonic carbohydrate content often lead to metabolic acidosis.
