There’s not even a single video that I wouldn’t like I adore your style of teaching and the way you stressing on the points which are important to know while not going into too much depth ❤️
Hi Nurse M…your video was well explained. As a nursing student, I have to revisit the electrolyte imbalances. Input and out put and fluid overload constantly.(Level up Rn )have really helped me along my journey. Keep the videos coming. Thanks a lot. God bless you all.
I am so glad to hear the videos are helpful to you! Fluid and electrolyte balance is such a tricky but important concept for nursing school, but I'm so glad we can help you on the way! :) Meris
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I can't afford your cards, so I watch your videos for my review, and I absolutely love them. Keep on helping aspiring nursing students.
I love your videos, but the way I remember Hypotonic fluids is by relating them to a Hippo 🦛 because Hypo- sounds like Hippo- and the cell is puffed up/ swollen like a Hippo :-)
Dear Meris, thank you so much for the wonderful videos. i am still not clear about hypo, hper, isogonics concepts. how i can memorize and learn it easily?
Isotonic fluid is the SAME tonicity as the body, so it won't move fluid in or out of the cell. This is the most routine type of fluid given (normal saline, lactated ringer's, etc.). Hypotonic fluids are lower in tonicity than our body, meaning that fluid is going to move from the vascular space into the cell, causing the cell to swell. Hypertonic is a higher tonicity than our body, so our body will try to maintain homeostasis by moving fluid FROM the cell into the vascular space, causing the cell to shrink. Hypotonic and hypertonic fluids are not used very routinely, because in most cases, we don't want to affect the volume of the cell. But in some cases (cerebral edema, DKA, etc.) this is a desired effect. So 99.9% of the time, you're going to be giving isotonic fluid like 0.9% saline, lactated ringer's, D5W, etc. :)
Intake is everything that's gone in but net intake is everything in minus everything out. Simple example: I drank 1500 mL in a day and urinated 1000 mL. My intake for that day is 1500 mL. My output for the day is 1000 mL. My net intake is 500 mL.

@@LevelUpRN wow that's great! thank you ever so much for the detailed explanation.
I had a question that asked "net intake." I have never heard that term. What is the difference between intake and net intake?
Intake is everything that's gone in but net intake is everything in minus everything out. Simple example: I drank 1500 mL in a day and urinated 1000 mL. My intake for that day is 1500 mL. My output for the day is 1000 mL. My net intake is 500 mL.
@@LevelUpRN thank you!
