- 38What is a function of Potassium (K+)Major intracellular cation, nerve transmission and muscle contraction, helps maintain normal hear rhythm, maintains plasma acid-base balance
- 39What is a function of Sodium (na+)Major cation of extracellular fluid, major role in regulation of water balance, regulates through osmotic pressure, important in controlling contractility of the heart.

- 44What is a normal range for Bicarbonate (HCO3-)22-26
- 45A function of Bicarbonate (HCO3-)A buffer that neutralizes excess acids in the body, helps regulate acid-base balance.
- 46What is a NANDA for DehydrationFluid volume deficit
- 47What is the main organ through which fluid excertion is achievedKidney
- 48Urine output is affected by several hormonesADH, aldosterone and ANP

- 50This is the process by which substances move back and forth across membranes until they are evenly ditributedDiffusion
- 51With diffussion the substances move from ______ to _____ concentration until the concentration on both sides of the membrane is equal.High to Low
- 52This refers to the movement of pure solvent across membrane and water diffuses by thisOsmosis
- 53With osmosis water moves from the area of what concentration to the area of what concentration until the solutions in the compartments are equal concentration.less solute to greater
