Fluids & Electrolytes Made Simple

Sit down, strap your seatbelt and get ready to get educated about my quick and easy breakdown of fluids and electrolytes that all my fellow Nursebrothers and NurseSisters are going to understand for their upcoming exams to pass to become that future RN. Shaaaaowwwww!!! lol Goodluck

There are many changes in our fluid and electrolytes, but maintaining equal balance of input and output is important as we receive our fluids and electrolytes from food and drinks where its absorbed in our GI tract or IV therapy entering our intravascular compartment.
So our simple element of Water is vital for our body because it actually helps carry out our electrolytes, its also acts like a solvent, even as a lubricant, and a cushion for our joints as it maintains our blood volume.

REMEMBER THESE 3 TYPES OF SOLUTION
1. Hypertonic Solution = Shrunken Blood Cell
2. Isotonic Solution = Normal Blood Cell
3. Hypotonic Solution = Swollen Blood Cell

Awesome! My professor spent 2 hours talking about this topic yesterday and I was still confused. You spent 3 minutes and I got it! Thanks nurse Mendoza!

[lesliegidden]

what I would love to know, maybe a future video, is the many types of IV fluids (lactated ringers, D5W, etc) and how you chose the correct type for each patient! thanks!!

I am an aspiring nurse. I live in Toronto Canada and am starting college next year. I am super excited and just wanted to say your channel has really helped me figure myself out.

You're a good man!! Thank You! In Adult Health and Pharmacology now, supposedly the hardest semester so stressing a bit but I'm hoping to become smart and confident like you and my teachers, I feel like it's so hard to be that way. Hopefully time will tell.. and in a good way. Thanks Nurse Mendoza, males unite lol, females too!!

[caoimheos]

Something I totally didn't understand is now locked away in my brain for exams on Sat!! Thanks!

[ashwiiniapbalasubramaniam]

seriously awesome.. very easy to understand

[IanDJesus]

thanks! i have a fluid and electrolytes test tomorrow. this is good supplementation!

[valessiaharris]

I was so confused when I was first learning but I think with the way you explained it and how you remember it will help me to remember it too

[caribaez]

I feel that in order to understand osmotic solutions, you need to check out some chemistry. Solution and solvent. Chemistry is big in physiology.

[rebeccamackey]

Thank you!!!! For some reason I constantly struggle with electrolytes when his helps a ton!
