Whether somebody is dehydrated or not, the amount of Hemoglobin in their body will remain unchanged: Dehydration is the state of being low on water. Hemoglobin is a compound caried in blood.
Children become dehydrated more quickly than adults because they have a much higher percentage of water in their bodies than adults do. A child has approximately 77% water compared to an adult who has approx 60%. It also will depend on the age of the child to what extent they become dehydrated. Hope this helps.
Hypertonic solutions contain higher concentrations of various dilutes than blood, Isotonic solutions contain the same concentrations, and Hypotonic solutions contain less of its dilute components than blood. As such, you might deliver hypertonic saline to a patient who is electrolytically depleted, an isotonic to a patient whose blood chemistry is good but is hypovolemic, and a hypotonic like D5W to a dehydrated patient whose electrolytes are very high in spite of the dehydration. It's a way of adding fluids and trying to balance the blood chemistry at the same time.
Higher fiber foods for a patient who is constipating is necessary to ease bowel movements. The dangers of constant constipation includes discomfort, gas, and devleopment of fistulas and hemorrhoids.
Yes, especially if it's the first time in the day you urinate it is very concentrated.
Typically urine is around 92-96% water unless you are dehydrated (which would make the % lower) or hypersaturated (which would make the % higher)
Resting at or just below the level of the heart. If raised higher in the air, it will affect the BP reading.
no, because the time a provider spends with new patients is higher than with an established patient. In addition, the required components and the relative value units are greater than with an established patient at the same code level.
pay a higher deductible
Dumping syndrome is when ingested food either bypass or move through the stomach to fast to be digested. People who have had different surgeries or diabetes,cyclic vomiting syndrome, peptic ulcers,or take Metoclopramide, which is prescribed for nausea, vomiting or heartburn, are at a higher risk.
Easiest by placing the patient somewhere where the air pressure is higher, i.e get off the mountain.
