FVD S/S
➢ Weight loss
➢ ↓ Skin turgor, dry membranes
➢ ↓ Output
➢ V/S: BP ↓ , P↑ , R ↑ , CVP ↓
➢ Urine spec gravity ↑
FVD Treatment
Prevent further loss
Replace fluids:
mild deficit: oral fluids
moderate to severe: IV fluids
Monitor for overload
Fall precautions
IV Fluids Isotonic
➢ Goes in and stays
➢ D5W, 0.9% NS, LR, D5 1/4NS
➢ Fluid loss when they don’t have hypertension,
cardiac or renal problems
➢*Do not use with HTN, cardiac, or renal disease.
Can cause hypertension, hypernatremia, and
FVE.
IV Fluids Hypotonic
➢ Goes into vascular space, moves out to
rehydrate
➢ D2.5W, 0.33%NS, 1/2 NS
➢ Uses: In clients that have HTN, renal or
cardiac disease, but need fluid replacement.
Will dilute in hypernatremia.
➢ Watch for cellular edema, FVD, ↓ BP
