Fluid and Electrolytes Imbalances for Nursing Students - NCLEX Review

Fluid and electrolyte imbalances (disturbances) for nursing students: a comprehensive NCLEX review made easy! Includes mnemonics (memory tricks) to help you learn key concepts about fluid and electrolytes.

Nursing students will have to learn about fluid and electrolytes in nursing school and for the NCLEX exam. However, you'll also want to know about fluid and electrolytes as a nurse, too.

It is important to maintain a proper fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. When a patient experiences a fluid and electrolyte imbalance, it can lead to serious health issues that often manifest with specific signs and symptoms.

In this video, Nurse Sarah gives a comprehensive NCLEX review for nursing students over all of the fluid and electrolytes. In this lecture, you'll learn the following:

-Fluid and electrolyte normal values range balance
-Signs and symptoms of fluid and electrolyte imbalances (hypermagnesemia, hypomagnesemia, hypercalcemia, hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hyperchloremia, hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphatemia, hyponatremia, hyponatremia)
-Causes of fluid and electrolyte imbalances
-Fluid and electrolytes mnemonics (memorization tricks)
-Includes all 6 fluid and electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, phosphate, potassium, sodium, and chloride)

This woman has probably singlehandedly raised so many nurses and help create their knowledge base. I would bet she has indirectly saved many lives because of all the nurses she has helped trained. Keep it up! You are the bomb!

Hi Sarah, I’m here just to say thank you so much for all your nursing videos on YouTube. You can’t imagine how much you saved me. I took the accelerated (18 months) nursing program with no clinical or science background. Graduated with a 3.58 GPA and passed my NCLEX-RN on first try. God bless you!

I’m going to pay my tuition to you❤ I learn more with you than in school lectures. Thank you so much!!

[kyndranicole]

I'm literally studying this for my final right now and was hoping you'd have a video on fluids and electrolytes when I was looking it up! So happy you posted! Your videos help more than you know! Thank you!!

[DeniseRene]

Thanks Sara! I watched your other electrolyte videos multiple times in preparation for the NCLEX. I love that you now have a comprehensive electrolyte video. I am a new ER nurse and I want to be able to explain to my patients how these electrolytes affect their body when they have high or low lab values.

This presentation and the associated quiz were so helpful! Sometimes I just feel like my brain is in information overload and nothing is making any connections--this really helped me think about it and work my way through each concept step by step. thank you!!!!

I was watching older videos on specific topics for my exam in two weeks and wanted to see if you had any new videos/what type of topics you do them on (I swear it’s like every time I want to have someone explain a condition you always have a video on it). This video is very helpful. Electrolytes especially are difficult for me to remember so having them all in one place will help me tremendously. Thank you for the years of hard work and helping myself and many many others get through nursing school

I’m in my first semester of LPN-RN transition program! This has helped me so much!

I have an exam on Monday, and can NOT grasp fluids and electrolytes for the life of me. Thank you for posting this. It helped so much. Gonna go do some HESI EAQ’s over it to make sure I got it now. 😭

At this point in my nursing career, I just hit the like button when I start watching one of Sara’s videos. Thank you very much for everything!

Im an RN for 2years but I still watch your video as my resource

[anfahnoor]

OMG, I can't thank you enough. I'm at the end of the semester and I was always confused with " where sodium goes water goes" and asking myself " but how" now as you just explain the ICF and ECF makes sense.

[naniebella]

I don't know why you do what you do, but I thank God you do it.
Thank you so much because this helped me a lot.
I am in the final 16 weeks of my RN degree, and I need this refresher before I go back in the fall. Wish me luck!

[chloewaller]

Thank you Sarah! You help me everyday of nursing school. When I graduate I’m buying all of my study group a mug from your shop!

[videoanalyzers]

I am a PA and my friend is an MD. Your lectures are quite good and they've been recommended to our medical students. Your fans likely have a high pass rate. Maybe someday you'll do a HCP series. Anyway love it...Keep up the great work!
