- This video covers major electrolyte functions and imbalances in the body. It covers Sodium (Na), Chloride (Cl), Potassium (K), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), and Phosphate (PO4). It further looks into signs and symptoms (S/S) of imbalances and treatments/nursing interventions. Always refer to your professors, textbook and/or hospital laboratory references as normal values may vary. Additional videos about related topics can be found in the "Fluid and Electrolyte" playlist of my channel Nursing School Explained..
Understanding of these basic concepts will help prepare registered nursing (RN) students for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
Great video. One correction: Tetany is caused by Hypocalcemia not hyper. Thank you.
I like how you grouped the information and tied it all together! You ma'am are a great teacher!
Hi PunchyMuffin, thank you for your kind words and feedback. Good luck in your studies!
Thanks for the video! This helps sooo much!
I have just started my degree in nursing in the UK and this is really helpful. Thank you very much. I look forward to watching your other videos.
I'm so glad you find it helpful. Good luck in your studies!
Thank you so much! Watching your videos keep me fully engaged.
Hi Alisa, glad to help! 😀
That would be nice information.
Petra, again, great review. Your explanation on the various topics is clear and to the point. I would be interested in reviewing resp / metabolic acidosis if you might be inclined to teach on that subject.
Robin Monson thank you. Please see the video titled “ ABG analysis and interpretation” for a review of metabolic and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis.
Thank you so much! Your videos cleared up so much on these concepts for me. ❤️
Thank you for your comment. I’ll have new videos coming out in a few weeks. Please share with your classmates and let me know about any other topics you would like me to explain!
Thank you for another great video. Please upload more because your style of teaching and the presentation is helpful to nursing students like me.
Thank you for your feedback. More to come!

@@NursingSchoolExplained aww ty
In a case of electrolytes imbalance, Mgso4, K and Po4.. Which electrolyte should be the first priority to replace and why?.. Can all those electrolytes infususe at same time? Thank you
Hi Malini, thank you for this great question. The order of priority will depend on which electrolyte is MOST out of balance and/or causing symptoms in the patient. In general, however, because K and Mg can affect the heart and cause dysrhythmias they will be the first ones to be replaced. K and Mg are compatible at the IV Y-site. I did not find any conclusive data on IV phosphate administration and its compatibility. ALWAYS check with your hospital's pharmacy about compatibility, rates of administration, and any monitoring requirements. Patients should always be on a cardiac monitor when administering concentrated electrolytes intravenously.
Hope this helps and good luck in your studies!
Hi, thank you for the very informative video! I have problems with mal absorption and was wondering what you recommend I be tested for to determine what my electrolyte imbalance is? I have low energy and now I am experiencing heart arrhythmia issues. Please let me know. Thanks, Tony
Hi Tony, my videos are for educational purposes only. Please check with your provider about any specific health concerns you have.
@@NursingSchoolExplained Okay, I understand.
@@TonyGruber2009 Did you find out?
@@Xbot4Life I am still trying to find the proper tests to reveal what exactly is causing some of my health issues and heart palpitations. Thankfully I have found a mineral electrolyte supplement that is helping to reduce my heart palpitations noticeably. Are you experiencing similar issues?
@@TonyGruber2009 yes I am. All I know is when you get palpitations, drinking lots of water (preferably with some salt) will get rid of it. But I don't know how to fix it for good.
I am convinced it's electrolyte related but I think Kidneys are flushing it out maybe.
Try Vitamin B1 though, it's on amazon, comes in 50mg only, that specific form.
What electrolyte supplement did you find?
what do you suggest in terms of an electrolyte homemade drink, what ratio of salt, mg and potassium? a lady on youtube gave 1/2 cup of salt, 1 and 3/4 teaspoon of potassium and half teaspoon of mg. this mixture should go as 1/2 teaspoon in 1 litre of water. thanks
There is no easy answer to this question as everyone and every situation is different. For example, an elite athlete running a marathon will have different requirements than a hobby runner who just completed 3 miles. Many times, unless you are sweating profusely, you actually don't need to replace anything and just need to make sure you stay well hydrated. I recommend talking to a nutritionist about specific situations and concerns.
@@NursingSchoolExplained thank you. Situation I had in mind is ketogenic diet, low carb.
Hi
My 12 years old autistic boy has chloride intracellular channel2 mutation and he has similar symptoms but till date he is unable to express as he is non verbal this video has helped me understand why he is constantly asking water and his heart palpitation since birth. We have consulted various doctors got his MRI test EEG test and various blood test all were normal. Thank-you very much. If I need to check his electrolyte imbalance what are test and theraphy available for autistic kids.
Hi Pramilla, thank you for your feedback. This channel is for educational purposes only and we are unable to provide medical advice. Since your son has a rare condition, we recommed following up with his specialists to address his specific needs.
I have mildly low sodium and mildly high chloride? What can this mean
Hi Chandler, thanks for watching!This channel is for educational purposes only. For questions about your specific situation, please check with your provider.
It mean you are low in sodium and mildly high in chloride 😁

Madam speak loudly
Turn up the volume on your computer if you can't hear. She speaks perfectly fine.
Very poor voice and not Audiable
Hi Miranda, thank you for your feedback. This was one of my first videos. I've improved my video and audio equipment since and am currently updating the fluid and electrolyte imbalances playlist. The sodium imbalances video came out last week (ruclips.net/video/InjybmaTC18/видео.html), the potassium imbalances one comes out tomorrow. 4 more videos are lined up in the next few weeks. Please continue watching amd good luck in your studies!
