Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance
1. You are a nurse who frequently cares for post-surgical patients in your hospital unit. Most of the medical-surgical patients have IV fluids infusing during their admission. Due to the frequent use of IV fluids on your floor, understanding fluid balance and electrolyte function is primary to your nursing practice. 
a. What conditions might lead to the development of hypovolemia?
b. How would the amount of patient fluid loss be determined?
c. Describe how hypovolemia and third-space fluid shifts correlate.
d. Outline the major difference between hypovolemia and third-space fluid shift.
e. Which conditions can result in third-space fluid shift?
2. You are a nurse in a nonsurgical cardiac unit caring for a 92-year-old patient who has two sons, 15 grandchildren, and 49 great-grandchildren. She lives in assisted living and has a history of congestive heart failure (CHF). She consistently struggles with balancing her fluids and electrolytes and has an affinity for dill pickles and sauerkraut. While hospitalized, she remains on a fluid restriction—much to her chagrin, as she loves ice cream. 
a. What within her history would indicate she was at risk for hypervolemia?
b. How would dill pickles and sauerkraut impact her fluid volume?

c. What body areas offer observational evidence of excessive interstitial extracellular fluid (ECF)?
d. Why would your patient be on a strict fluid restriction while hospitalized?
e. Outline nursing interventions used while a patient is on fluid restriction.

Addictive disorders can be particularly challenging for clients. Not only do these disorders typically interfere with a client’s ability to function in daily life, but they also often manifest as negative and sometimes criminal behaviors. Sometime clients with addictive disorders also suffer from other mental health issues, creating even greater struggles for them to overcome. In your role, you have the opportunity to help clients address their addictions and improve outcomes for both the clients and their families. For this Assignment, as you examine the Levy Family video in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with addiction.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Assess clients presenting with addictive disorders
• Analyze therapeutic approaches for treating clients with addictive disorders
• Evaluate outcomes for clients with addictive disorders

To prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide.
• Review the Levy Family video Episodes 1 through 5.

The Assignment

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

• After watching Episode 1, describe:
  • What is Mr. Levy’s perception of the problem?
  • What is Mrs. Levy’s perception of the problem?
  • What can be some of the implications of the problem on the family as a whole?
• After watching Episode 2, describe:
  • What did you think of Mr. Levy’s social worker’s ideas?
  • What were your thoughts of her supervisor’s questions about her suggested therapies and his advice to Mr. Levy’s supervisor?

  • What were your thoughts about the way Mr. Levy’s therapist responded to what Mr. Levy had to say?
  • What were your impressions of how the therapist worked with Mr. Levy? What did you think about the therapy session as a whole?
  • Informed by your knowledge of pathophysiology, explain the physiology of deep breathing (a common technique that we use in helping clients to manage anxiety). Explain how changing breathing mechanics can alter blood chemistry.
  • Describe the therapeutic approach his therapist selected. Would you use exposure therapy with Mr. Levy? Why or why not? What evidence exists to support the use of exposure therapy (or the therapeutic approach you would consider if you disagree with exposure therapy)?
• In Episode 4, Mr. Levy tells a very difficult story about Kurt, his platoon officer.
  • Discuss how you would have responded to this revelation.
  • Describe how this information would inform your therapeutic approach. What would you say/do next?
• In Episode 5, Mr. Levy’s therapist is having issues with his story.
  • Imagine that you were providing supervision to this therapist, how would you respond to her concerns?

• What are the two depreciation conventions that apply to tangible personal property under MACRS? Explain why Congress provides two methods.

Please post what you view as the appropriate responses to the above prompts. Your initial post should be 250-300 words.
