Assessing for clients at risk Monitoring clients for EARLY manifestations Implement collaborative and nursing
interventions to prevent or correct imbalances What segment of the life span is at highest
risk of fluid imbalances?

Fluid Compartments Intracellular (ICF) (2/3 of the fluid)
fluids contained within the cells Extracellular (ECF) (1/3 of the fluid)
(Remember blood tests measure extracellular fluid only – that’s why sodium is high and potassium is low!)
Interstitial (between the cells) Intravascular (plasma)
arteries, veins, capillaries Transcellular
misc: urine, digestive secretions, perspiration etc. Theoretical Third Space: trapped ECF in actual or
potential body space due to disease or injury Important in burns, shock and cardiovascular

Movement of Body Fluids: Important Concept
Body fluids are not static. Fluids & electrolytes shift from compartment to compartment.
Emphasis is always on maintaining homeostasis

Osmosis Movement of water across a semi-permeable
membrane from an area of low solute concentration (lots of water) to an area of high solute concentration (less water) until even distribution (homeostasis) is achieved
Osmolarity = number of milli-osmoles in liter of solution Normal = 270 – 300 (or 275 – 295)
Osmolality = number of mill-osmoles in kilogram of solution

concentrated fluid is placed next to a MORE concentrated solution, water moves to MORE concentrated solution to equalize the solutions
